With it being Emergency Preparedness Week in Canada, Manitoba's Emergency Management Organization is reminding us of an Alert Ready test message on multiple communication channels today at 1:55 p.m.
Testing of all components is an important part of any public alerting system, and provides an opportunity to validate and improve the end-to-end performance and reliability of the system to ensure it operates as intended.
The test alert will be distributed on this radio station and compatible wireless devices.
However, not all Manitobans will receive the test alert on their mobile device. This may occur for various reasons including device compatibility, connection to an LTE network, cell tower coverage and device software and settings.
