Public Awareness Alert Test to be Conducted on May 8
Wednesday, May 1, 2024
On May 8th, the Government of Canada will send test alerts on behalf of Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. Emergency Management Organizations (EMOs) from other provinces will issue their own test alerts. In any case, only one test alert will be issued for each province or territory.
The test messages will be Broadcast intrusive (BI) and Wireless immediate (WI) and will be broadcast on all mediums.
Rocky View County residents are encouraged to download the Alberta Emergency Alert app on their phones. It is a program that can save lives! It will only be used if there is a threat to life or community impacts. For disasters like wildfire, floods, and severe weather like tornados, this important tool gets the word out fast.
Download the app on the App Store or Google Play, or visit the Alberta Emergency Alert | Alberta.ca
