A message from Wellington Region Emergency Management Office
A nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert system test will take place this Sunday between 6pm and 7pm. An alert will be broadcast to all capable phones.
The test will show you what an Emergency Mobile Alert looks like on your phone. It’s one of the many tools that may be used to communicate with you during an emergency such as a flood, earthquake, or tsunami.
If you get an alert, stop, read the message, and take it seriously. It will tell you what the emergency is, what to do, and where to go to for more information. If you feel your life is in danger, don't wait for an official warning – take immediate action.
