The Saskatoon Emergency Management Operations (EMO) will conduct a scheduled notifynow test Thursday after 11:30 a.m.

The City of Saskatoon’s public safety alert program, notifynow, is used to notify the public in real-time of a safety situation where they need to take action. The system uses listed phone numbers and associated addresses from the public White Pages to send out alerts. Residents can also sign up and specify how they want to receive the alert whether it is SMS text message, voice call to a landline, voice call to a cell phone, and email.

If you think there was a problem with receiving the message, contact Emergency Management Operations. (emo@saskatoon.ca)

Two annual test alerts take place each year including one in the spring and one closer to the end of the year.
