Canada’s national emergency alert system, Alert Ready, has scheduled a public test for later this week. Depending on where you live, the test will be sent in the late morning or early afternoon. Test messages will be sent via compatible wireless devices, television and radio. "Test alerts educate Canadians on what an emergency alert will look and sound like in the event of a life-threatening situation,” Martin Belanger, director of public alerting at Pelmorex, which operates Alert Ready’s technical infrastructure, said in a statement. --- Lots of emergency alert tests and upgrades going on worldwide. Makes you wonder.  |
