Uintah County Emergency Management has given a heads up to locals that the Utah Department of Public Safety’s Bureau of Criminal Identification will conduct a statewide TEST of the AMBER Alert system on Thursday, April 3rd, between 4:00 and 4:30 PM. “This test is part of an upgrade to align the system with modern national standards and verify its integration with FEMA’s Emergency Alert System,” shares the announcement.
Expect to receive a TEST AMBER Alert notification through your mobile devices, TV, radio, and highway message boards. The alert will include a distinct tone and vibration on mobile devices, similar to a real AMBER Alert. The goal is to improve the reliability and effectiveness of the AMBER Alert system.
