Just had the thought that if the sirens went off unannounced people would just complain (inner voice) about the noise and carry on with what ever they were doing.
Just reminding what it is all about.
Was in Basle today; the sirens went off punctually but then there were sort of junior versions (shorter & quieter) which continued sporadically for about 15 minutes....

Yes I heard the dinky sirens too, probably somebody complained about the noise.
Not sure if it was today for the whole country? Because I didn't hear any sirens!
It WAS for the whole country, INCLUDING the Romandie. But the place where you were possibly covered against the siren by a larger building

who then might take care that law and order also gets introduced into your area
When the sirens went off in Germany, every Saturday noon we all knew that the Ruß is a coming, it was a joke for us kids.
For the older generation siren tests must have been traumatic though, grandma used to get very nervous, she was hitting the grog by one o'clock and spent the rest of the afternoon mumbling about the evil "Ruß" (the Russian, pronounced Ruzz)
Sirens were not always a lark.
In Beirut, they were real so I understand how your grandmother felt.

For all those who didn't hear the sirens, bear in mind, that not everyone is destined to survive.
There are probably insufficient shelters in your area, so any warning would be a waste of time.
In this case you are classified as expendable.
