Emergency notification system test tomorrow, 10:55am, May 8th

Way’ Members please be advised:

An emergency alert test will be issued to cellphones, television and radio at 10:55 a.m. (Pacific time) on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. Emergency alerts are broadcast on TV, radio, and cell phones to provide urgent, life-saving information during emergencies.

This will be the first test of the Government of Canada’s ability to issue alerts, and it will assess the system’s readiness for an actual emergency.

Do not call 9-1-1 for information about the test. Using 9-1-1 for non-emergency calls could delay help for people in crisis.
