This afternoon at 1:55 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time, a test of the Alert Ready system is taking place across Nova Scotia.
You may hear the alert tone coming from your radio, TV, or cell phone - but, this will only be a test.
Test alerts help you learn what an emergency alert would look and sound like.
For more information about emergency preparedness and emergency alerts in Nova Scotia, visit the Province of Nova Scotia's Emergency Management Office website, Emergency Ready in Canada's Facebook page, or the Alert Ready emergency alert system website.
