New SMS Test Dispatch for Citizen Alerts
March 6, 2026
The Ministry of Interior plans a new test SMS dispatch for citizen alerts during emergencies. The dispatch will occur gradually across various provinces on the afternoon of March 6, 2026. Citizens will receive messages with self-protection instructions based on their registered address. The test aims to check the system's ability to send a large number of messages quickly. This process will be replaced by the new Early Warning System expected to be implemented in June.
