Emergency Alert-November 17th

: Published: Tuesday, 16 November 2021 13:42

On November 17, 2021 at 1:55 pm, the Nova Scotia Emergency Management Office (NSEMO) will issue a test alert of the national public alerting system. Testing all components of the system provides an opportunity to validate and improve the end to end performance and reliability of the system to ensure it operates as it is intended on TV, radio and wireless in the event of a life-threatening situation. The test begins with a loud alert sound, followed by a spoken message through television and radio and a message on cell phone screens. If the cell phone is switched off or on silent mode, there will be no sound, but a banner will be displayed, and the phone may vibrate if the phone is in silent mode. To hear what sound to expect during the test or to find out about cell phone compatibility, visit www.alertready.ca . You may also contact your wireless service provider with specific inquiries regarding public alerting services and device compatibility. Please feel free to share this information
