We tried to become an official so-called "Warnmultiplikator" in #Germany to get official API access to emergency alerts, but we have failed with it for now. We wanted to share what we learned about the German infrastructure, the responsibilities, and the requirements for "Warnmultiplikatoren," so we wrote our first blog post.

🚀 We finally released the very first version of the FOSS Public Alert Server. Version 0.1.0 includes the most essential features and is a good step toward the first stable release.

Are you curious about our new infrastructure and can't wait to see what's possible? Yes? Now, you get your hands on an early testing version.
