The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in India conducted a test of the country’s new emergency alert system. Mobile users received an emergency alert on their Android and iPhone devices, which included a loud beep and a flash message. The purpose of the test was to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and identify any potential issues. The alert was transmitted through the Cell Broadcasting System (CBS), which allows mobile operators to send text messages to all phones in a specified area.
Mobile users across India received an emergency alert on Tuesday morning. The message, accompanied by an emergency tone, was sent at approximately 11:35 AM to Android and iPhone devices.
