Alerting Albertans in Emergency Situations
Please be advised that at 1:55 p.m. today, Nov. 27, 2019, Albertans will receive a 'test alert' from Alberta Emergency Alert on their cellphone. If a cellphone is switched to "off" or "silent mode," there will be no sound, but a banner will be displayed and the phone may vibrate. To hear what sound to expect during the test, visit Alert Ready's website and click on the box at the bottom of the page that says “play alert tone.”
The test is part of Alberta Emergency Alert wireless public alerts regarding life-threatening emergencies, such as tornado, wildfire, flood or an Amber Alert. Alerts should be taken seriously and not treated as an inconvenience. They can save lives!
