Canada to conduct nationwide Alert Ready test

The test of the emergency alert system will be broadcast over wireless devices, television, and radio on Wednesday.

Emergency Ready in Canada is reminding the public of a scheduled test of the Alert Ready system.

Next Wednesday, the test will be broadcast over wireless devices, television, and radio in participating provinces and territories to ensure the system is ready to deliver urgent warnings during emergencies.

Regular testing of Alert Ready helps authorities confirm that alerts can reach Canadians quickly and efficiently in the event of a real emergency. Residents are encouraged to be aware that this is only a test and no action is required.

The initiative highlights Canada’s ongoing commitment to public safety and preparedness, ensuring that communities remain informed and protected when urgent situations arise.
