On Monday, May 7 at 1:55 p.m., the Province of Ontario will be testing the Ontario Alert Ready System on TV, radio, and cellphones. These alert messages, sent through the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, are just a test of the system's functionality.

The Ontario Alert Ready System will be used to alert the public of emergency situations, so that everyone can be better prepared if/when emergency situations arise.
