THE CITY OF HELENA AND LEWIS AND
CLARK COUNTY WILL SOON TEST
THEIR "WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT"
SYSTEM.
IT’S HAPPENING APRIL 10TH AT 11
A-M.
THE SYSTEM ALLOWS THE CITY TO
SEND TARGETED EMERGENCY ALERTS
TO WIRELESS SUBSCRIBERS WHO HAVE
W-E-A CAPABLE MOBILE DEVICES.
LOCAL OFFICIALS SAID IT’S
IMPORTANT TO TEST THE SYSTEM IN
CASE THERE’S AN EMERGENCY.
THOSE COULD INCLUDE WILDFIRES,
SEVERE WINTER STORMS, AND
EARTHQUAKES.
THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE
WIRELESS SYSTEM IS EFFECTIVE TO
PREVENT IMMINENT THREATS.
ONCE THE TEST IS RELEASED, YOU
DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.
{IT’S A TEST TO SEND EMERGENCY
MESSAGES TO ANY ELECTRONIC
MOBILE DEVICE IN LEWIS AND CLARK
COUNTY AND IT’S IMPORTANT
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO BYPASS
OUR NORMAL MASS ALERTING
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM AND ALERT
PEOPLE UNDER DURESS CONDITIONS
THAT WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND
CORRECT MEASURES TO TAKE.
