The paper deals with the issue of the genesis of warning in the former Czechoslovakia. The genesis and further development of this area were stimulated not only by the emergence of military aviation during the First World War and its further development in the interwar period, but especially by the rise of fascism in Italy in the second half of the 1920s and National Socialism in Germany in the first half of the 1930s, which slowly grew into fighting rhetoric and culminated in the outbreak of World War II. Based on a search of selected contemporary legal norms, professional magazines and professional publications (all mainly from the mid-1930s), this article acquaints readers with the initial solution to the issue of warning in our state through the newly established alarm service, ie the relation of this service to possible air attack, with the executive bodies providing this service, with the material means of the alarm service (means of warning) and with the tests and announcement of the air alarm.
