# National Alert Ready Test

On May 10, 2023, Ontario, along with other participating provinces and territories, will be conducting a province wide test message through Alert Ready, Canada’s emergency alerting system.

The test message will be distributed over television, radio, and compatible wireless devices at 12:55 PM EST.
