Emergency Management BC will be conducting one of their bi-annual emergency alert system tests tomorrow.
During the test, an alert will be sent out on all radio and TV stations, and to wireless devices such as cell phones, at 1:55 in the afternoon.
Alert Ready is used by both the federal and provincial governments to notify residents in the case of emergencies or public safety threats.
As of 2022, the alerts cover wildfires, floods, tsunamis, extreme heat events, civic threats and Amber Alerts.
