The National Alert Network (RNA), consisting of approximately 4,500 sirens, aims to alert the population in case of immediate danger. The sirens then emit a modulated signal, up and down, consisting of three sequences of one minute 41 seconds, separated by a five-second silence.
The siren tests of the national alert network take place on the first Wednesday of each month, at noon. For these series of tests, no reflex measures will be implemented by the population.
In the territory of Grimaud, a siren is installed above the town hall and a second at the sports complex Blaquières.

The Directorate General of Civil Security and Crisis Management (DGSCGC) of the Ministry of the Interior, in collaboration with the Government Information Service (GIS), worked on the development of a mobile alert application for populations on smartphone: "SAIP": Alert and information system for the population.
Available on the Apple Store and Google Play, this free application can be alerted, via notification on his smartphone, in case of suspicion of an attack or exceptional event (accident of civil security) likely to result from an attack.
This application complements the existing alert and information system for populations (SAIP) and is part of a global approach to raise awareness of the population to risks.
