Wednesday the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) will issue a test of the provincial emergency alert system.

The test will be issued via the Federal public alerting system Alert Ready and will be delivered by SaskAlert on compatible wireless devices.

The test alert will also appear on television and radio.

The provincial government says testing is a standard part of the emergency management process to help to ensure that, in times of an emergency warnings can be distributed to the public. The alert will be issued at 1:55 p.m.
