The Department of Civil Defence have announced there will be a 1-minute yellow/amber-warning siren at 10.30am on Thursday (Boxing Day). The siren will be broadcast from mosque speakers. The reason for the siren is to test the sound levels etc.

Many thanks, Ian, once again you have saved me (and no doubt others who also dont read Turkish well) from unnecessary alarm.

Thank you very much iancrumpy, I will forewarn my elderly friend who lives very near the mosque in Ozankoy, I know she would otherwise have been very alarmed.
Happy Christmas to you and yours

Thank you for that warning, we live near the mosque in Lapta and would have wondered what is was for.

Thanks Ian for the warning. I live in Ozankoy and if that was an early warning system, then I am dead in my bed! I could barely hear a faint whining sound some where in the far distance!

Normally hear the 5 times a day shout very clearly. If there was a siren then we are in trouble cos never heard a thing.
