The [NINA](https://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vorsorge/Warn-App-NINA/warn-app-nina_node.html) integration displays warnings from the [Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe](https://www.bbk.bund.de/) in Germany.

For each county/city it creates warning slots that change to Unsafe when warnings are present. The text of the warning and the metadata are stored in the attributes of the slots.

{% important %}
This integration may only work with an Internet connection that supports IPv4.

### Filter

The integration includes the possibility to filter warnings in two ways via a regex.

{% note %}
All filters are applied to lowercase text only.
{% endnote %}

#### Headline filter

This filter filters warnings based on the headline as a **blacklist**. In other words, if the regular expression matches the headline of the warning, the warning will be **ignored**.

Default: Match nothing (`/(?!)/`)

##### Example

Ignore warnings that contain the word `corona`

Regex: `.*corona.*` <br>
Headline: `corona-verordnung des landes: warnstufe durch landesgesundheitsamt ausgerufen`

#### Affected area filter

This filter **whitelists** warnings based on the affected area. In other words, if the regular expression matches the area, the warning will be **displayed**.

Default: Match all (`.*`)

##### Example

Show only warnings from the city of nagold.

Regex: `.*nagold.*` <br>
Areas: `gemeinde oberreichenbach, gemeinde neuweiler, stadt nagold`
