New technology to alert people about emergencies
The following media release comes from Emergency Management Bay of Plenty.
A new way to let people know about an emergency is coming to a phone near you. That’s the message from the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management, who are leading the implementation of a new nationwide emergency alert channel. A live nationwide test will be held on 26 November 2017 to check the new system.
Director of Emergency Management Bay of Plenty Clinton Naude says the alerts are sent using cell broadcast technology, so there is no need to sign up or download an app.
