How it works

Open sources

Fire and rescue call-outs come from the Danish Emergency Management Agency's 1-1-2 pulse, police messages from POLITI | UPDATE and warnings from DMI via MeteoAlarm.

Continuously updated

Call-outs and warnings are fetched every two minutes and police messages every five. The page updates itself.

Not an authority

Advarselslisten is an independent compilation of open data and not a government service.
