Live data from Germany's Modular Warning System (NINA).
Type your postal code or city name — we'll resolve the municipality key automatically.
Germany's Modular Warning System brings together official notices from civil-protection authorities, weather services, and other responsible agencies. After you choose a region, Preplify shows the currently available NINA warnings for the matching municipality code. Severity, issuing authority, and timestamp help you assess each notice quickly and find the instructions that apply to your area.
Read the complete warning first and follow the responsible authority's instructions. Tell other people in your household, check local radio and official channels, and keep your phone charged. Depending on the incident, you may need to close windows, move to higher ground, or avoid unnecessary travel. Stay calm and respond to the specific notice rather than relying on general assumptions.
Preplify does not write warnings. It passes on what official bodies publish. Severe weather warnings come from the German Weather Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD), the only body permitted to issue official weather warnings in Germany. Flood information comes from the state flood centres, and warnings about hazardous substances, fires, utility outages, or civil-protection incidents come from fire services, districts, and independent cities. All of them feed into the BBK's Modular Warning System, MoWaS, and are distributed through NINA. Every notice names the authority that issued it.
Official weather warnings run through four levels: level 1 (yellow) is a weather warning, level 2 (orange) warns of significant weather, level 3 (red) is a severe weather warning, and level 4 (violet) warns of extreme severe weather. Civil-protection and hazard notices instead carry a severity from minor to extreme. The level describes how strong the expected impact is, not how likely the event is. From level 3 upwards, postpone planned journeys, avoid being outdoors, and secure loose objects.
Usually because there is nothing to show: with no active incident, the list for a municipality code stays empty, and that is the normal state. Warnings are also local — the neighbouring district can be under a severe weather warning while yours is clear. Preplify is a companion, not a weather service: for forecasts, rain radar, and what tomorrow looks like, the DWD and the weather portals are the place to go. This page only carries official warnings that are currently in force.
Preplify presents official data in a clear format, but it does not replace warning apps, public announcements, sirens, or instructions from emergency services. Notices can change at short notice and may apply differently across nearby areas. Use several reliable information sources whenever possible. If people face immediate danger, call the local emergency number; in Germany and across the European Union, that number is 112.
