The national system designed to deliver critical and potentially life-saving alerts will be tested today across Ontario at 12:55pm.
The Alert Ready test will take place on radio, TV and wireless devices.
Compatible devices will vibrate, an alert sound will play and text will indicate it’s only a test.
So far this year there have been 176 alerts issued in Ontario, that’s two and a half times more alerts than all of last year.
Today’s the day, Canada! If you are in a province or territory that is participating, you will receive a test alert on your phone, radio, and TV at the times below 👇https://t.co/L2HJRsG5C2
