Alert Ready test message coming this morning

There will be a test this morning of the national emergency alerting system.

An Alert Ready message is scheduled to issue an emergency test message through television, radio and compatible wireless devices at 10:45 a.m. in Newfoundland and 10:15 a.m. in most of Labrador.

Some residents will not receive the test alert on their wireless device due to compatibility, LTE network connection, cell tower coverage, device software and/or settings.

The Public Awareness Test is being performed in most provinces and territories as part of an annual system test.
