National emergency alert system to be tested on Wednesday in much of Canada | CBC News
Briefly

On May 7, Canada’s National Public Alerting System conducts tests of its Alert Ready system across eight provinces and two territories, but not in Alberta and Quebec. This initiative aims to prepare citizens for emergencies by delivering alerts about severe weather and critical events. While the alert's tone will be simulated during tests, no public action is necessary. Various factors may prevent alerts from reaching certain devices, and testing coincides with Emergency Preparedness Week, supported by resources from Public Safety Canada.
Canada's National Public Alerting System (NPAS) is testing its Alert Ready system across most provinces and territories to ensure readiness for emergencies, without requiring public action.
The NPAS operates as a collaborative initiative between federal, provincial and territorial governments, with tests scheduled during Emergency Preparedness Week to promote awareness.
