System Test

National emergency notification system being tested Wednesday

Nov 27, 2019 | 8:20 AM

If you get an emergency notification, don’t be alarmed – it’s just a test.

Another round of testing for the Alert Ready system will take place Wednesday, November 27th across Canada.

Once fully implemented, it will deliver critical and potentially life-saving alerts through TV, radio, and LTE-connected and compatible wireless devices.

Some examples of situations that would prompt a real emergency alert include fires, natural disasters like hurricanes or earthquakes, chemical spills, air quality, terrorist threats, amber alerts, or disruptions to essential services.

For more information on the test, Alert Ready, or how to see if your device is able to receive emergency alerts, go to AlertReady.ca.
