The national siren system in '''Denmark''' is comprised of 1,078 [[Whelen Engineering|Whelen]] [[WPS-2800 series]] sirens, located on rooftops or masts depending on the area. It is tested annually, on the first Wednesday of May at noon.<br />
<br />
Each signal lasts 45 seconds. The alert, or ''Go indoors'' signal, utilizes the Indoor Protection tone from the European tone set, while the all clear, or ''Danger is over'' signal, utilizes the All Clear tone.<br />
<br />
Sirens are installed in areas with a population of more than 1,000 people, allowing the system to reach 80% of the national population. The remaining 20% are alerted by mobile sirens mounted on police cars.<br />
