Civil Defence update on mobile emergency alert test

From Morning Report, 8:47 am on 25 November 2019

Mobile phones across the country were set off by the latest test of the national Civil Defense cell phone alert system on Sunday night.

About 60 percent of phones were alerted in previous tests of the Emergency Mobile Alert, and while final figures aren't in yet, the director of Civil Defence, Sarah Stuart-Black, says early indications are that Sunday night's test reached more.
