ONTARIO - If you hear an alert at 12:55 p.m. today, don't panic.
Officials will be testing the Alert Ready system today and that's when the test is scheduled to take place across Ontario.
The Alert Ready System sends a notification to televisions, radios, and cellphones with an LTE connection in order to notify the public about an emergency in their area. This includes tornados, severe thunderstorms, flash floods, and Amber Alerts.
