Whether you’re watching TV, listening to the radio, or on a cell phone, you’ll probably be interrupted by the BC Emergency Alert system test next week.
In a Facebook post from PreparedBC, it said the test is conducted twice a year, with the final one of the year on Wednesday, November 18th, at 1:55 p.m. Pacific time.
The first one occurred back in early May.
The system can be used to alert the public in emergency situations like wildfires, floods, landslides, tsunamis and extreme-heat emergencies.
More information can be found on the Province’s website here.
