“Quebec on Alert” - System Test Message

November 14, 2022

“Quebec on Alert”
System Test Message
On Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 1:55 p.m.

On Wednesday, November 16 at 1:55 p.m., a test message from Quebec on Alert will be broadcast on television, radio and compatible wireless devices connected to an LTE network.

This provincial test message will state that this is not an actual emergency and that there is no danger to the health or safety of citizens.

This test allows the Department of Public Safety, broadcasters and telecommunications companies to:

  • verify the proper functioning of the system;
  • make the necessary adjustments;
  • allows citizens to be aware of the use of this system, the display of the alert and its audible signal;
  • verify that mobile devices are compatible before a real emergency occurs that would pose a threat to life and security.
