An orthographic projection of Europe, highlighted in green.

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and Asia to the east. Europe had a total population of about 745 million (about 10% of the world population) in 2021. Europe has a very wide variety of siren models and manufacturers that produce sirens for many different purposes. Due to the lack of severe weather in Europe, sirens are rarely used for severe weather alerts and are instead most often used for warning about attacks, chemical spills, or floods. Most countries use electronic sirens, though some, like Germany, still have mechanical sirens in service as well.
