Jordan tests national emergency mobile alert system across governorates

Amman, July 25 (Petra) — The National Centre for Security and Crisis
Management (NCSCM), in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital
Economy and Entrepreneurship, the Telecommunications Regulatory
Commission (TRC) and licensed telecommunications operators, has
launched a series of tests of the country’s national emergency mobile
alert system across most governorates.

The tests are intended to assess the system’s readiness to warn the
public of crises, disasters and other emergencies.

The NCSCM urged the public not to be concerned upon receiving the
test messages, noting that the alerts will be sent to mobile phones
in both Arabic and English and will be accompanied by a distinctive
warning tone designed to attract users’ attention and ensure the
messages are noticed immediately.
