National emergency alert test coming next week
MEDICINE HAT, AB —Canadians will be getting another test emergency alert sent to their phones next week.
On November 28, emergency management organizations will be issuing test messages through Alert Ready, the national emergency alert system.
The message will be delivered over television, radio and compatible wireless devices at 1:55 p.m. local tim. In Quebec, the test will take place at 2:55 p.m.
It’s the second test this year, with the first one taking place in May. Many people across Canada mentioned they did not receive the test on their devices. The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) says there are a variety of reasons why people may not receive their alert.
