A little bit of History

"Michael Seresin, cinematographer (facing the camera) and Paul Leach, camera operator, setting up the scene where Smith arrives at the spot on the Coromandel peninsular where he sees the island he intends to move to."

It's that time again! The nationwide test of the Emergency Mobile Alert system is happening on Sunday 26 May between 6-7pm 📱⚠️

Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by authorised emergency agencies to capable mobile phones. The alerts are designed to keep people safe and are broadcast to cell phones from targeted cell towers.

The alerts are targeted to areas affected by serious hazards and are only sent when there is a serious threat to life, health or property.

The nationwide test allows us to check the system, and lets you understand how your phone will receive an Emergency Mobile Alert; so, we all have confidence the system will perform as it should in an emergency.

We know there are often lots of questions about the system and how it works. Thankfully our friends at NEMA have a thorough FAQs page to provide the answers! Learn more at https://getready.govt.nz/prepared/stay-informed/emergency-mobile-alert
