Don’t be alarmed if you get an emergency alert this afternoon, the province is testing out its emergency alert system to make sure its working for when we really need it.
People in BC will be getting an alert tone and message on their phone, radio, and TV at 1:55pm.
Residents are reminded that it is just a test – and are asked to NOT call 9-1-1 for information about the test.
