alarmowy

Alarmowy is a Polish adjective meaning relating to an alarm or to an emergency. It is used to describe systems, devices, measures, or states that are designed to trigger, convey, or respond to warnings and alerts. The word is formed from the noun alarm with the adjectival suffix -owy, a productive pattern in Polish for describing technical or functional aspects.

In everyday and technical usage, alarmowy appears in phrases such as system alarmowy (alarm system), sygnał alarmowy (alarm signal), czujnik alarmowy (alarm sensor), and centrala alarmowa (alarm control panel). The term also occurs with services and procedures connected to alerting and rapid response, for example służby alarmowe (emergency services) and środki alarmowe (alarm measures). It can describe conditions or preparedness levels, as in stan alarmowy (state of alarm), a concept used in public safety and regulatory contexts to indicate heightened readiness without implying a formal state of emergency.

Polish usage distinguishes alarmowy from related concepts such as alarmujące (alarming) and other legal or safety terms like stan wyjątkowy (state of emergency) or stan klęski żywiołowej (state of natural disaster). While alarmowy emphasizes the function of triggering or managing alarms and alerts, other terms govern broader legal or organizational statuses.
