Alert Ready

Alert Ready is Canada’s warning system to help you and your family stay informed and safe during an emergency or disaster. Alert Ready delivers critical and potentially life-saving alerts to Canadians through television, radio and LTE-connected and compatible wireless devices.

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. To learn more about Alert Ready or to check your phone’s compatibility, visit www.alertready.ca.
