How can I test if the SaskAlert app is working?

Posted bysaskalert

I just installed the app and I want to make sure it works.

You can add a Test location to confirm you see alerts in the app:

  1. Pick a location name to do the test. Go to the SaskAlert website http://emergencyalert.saskatchewan.ca/ to check locations with alerts issued recently, and choose a location name.
  2. Touch the SaskAlert app.
  3. Touch Settings.
  4. Touch Locations, on the “Add Town, City, Province, Territory” field, type the name you chose on step 1.
  5. Touch Close.
  6. Touch > Alerts.
  7. Under Alerts for your locations, you should see the same alerts being shown on the SaskAlert website. If that’s the case it means the app is working as expected.

To remove the Test location, from inside the SaskAlert app

  1. Touch Settings.
  2. Touch Locations.
  3. Touch Edit.
  4. Select the location name.
  5. Touch Delete (top right corner of the screen), touch Delete at the message window.
  6. Touch Close.
