Sydney CBD Emergency Warning System to be tested today
Country: Australia
Police are advising the public that the monthly test of the Sydney CBD (Central Business District) Emergency Warning System will be conducted today, Friday 29 January, at 12.15pm.
Members of the public who reside, work or travel though the Sydney CBD need to be aware of the warning system, what it sounds like and what it is used for.
The system is in line with similar warning systems overseas where monthly tests are conducted to educate and remind the public of the existence of the warning system, and to ensure the system works.
Today’s test will focus on selected sites within the Sydney CBD.
There are 98 speakers located throughout the CBD, as well as 13 variable messaging signs which are positioned at transport hubs in the city, all of which play a major role in the Sydney CBD Emergency Plan.
The Sydney CBD Emergency Warning System is tested at 12.15pm on the last Friday of each month.
