US EditionCanada’s Alert Ready system undergoes annual test today, coast to coast, except Que.
- British Columbia scheduled a test of its Emergency Alert System for 1:55 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, May 7, to be broadcast across television, radio, and compatible devices.
- The test follows regulation that mandates annual checks to ensure readiness for emergencies involving immediate threats to human life requiring urgent public action.
- The test simulated a typical emergency alert but required no public action, and Quebec did not participate in this nationwide testing event.
- During the test, a message stating "This is a TEST of the Emergency Alert system" appeared, emphasizing public awareness and system functionality.
- Officials urged the public not to call 911 unless facing a real emergency to avoid delaying help, and a second test is set for November 19 at the same time.
