Alert Ready

Alert Ready is Canada’s warning system to help you and your family stay informed and safe during an emergency or disaster. Beginning in April 2018, Alert Ready will not only be able to send critical alerts through TV, cable, satellite, and radio but also through some cellular phones.

These alerts will be coming from local emergency officials. If you receive an alert, you should take the appropriate action safely, especially if you receive the alert while driving. You will receive test alerts on your wireless phone when we test the system. To learn more about Alert Ready or to check your phone’s compatibility, visit www.alertready.ca.
