Be advised some residents will not receive the test alert on their wireless device due to device compatibility, LTE network connection, cell tower coverage, device software and/or settings. Check your phone’s compatibility here.

As Canada’s emergency alerting system, Alert Ready delivers critical and potentially life-saving alerts through television, radio and compatible wireless devices. In 2023, the Alert Ready system distributed over 1,000 emergency alerts across Canada.
