Saskatoon’s alert system to test residents’ emergency preparedness

- Voice call to a landline

Saskatoon residents with a notifynow account are expected to receive a test alert on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
notifynow is the City of Saskatoon’s public safety alert program used to notify the public in real-time of a safety situation. The municipal emergency alert system will be tested as part of Emergency Preparedness Week.
“notifynow alerts are reserved for situations where there is an impending, escalating or occurring emergency situation in the city and residents need to take immediate action,” explains Pamela Goulden-McLeod, Director of Saskatoon Emergency Management Organization (EMO). “Conducting an annual test is an important step to confirm the system is functioning properly and ready to be used when it’s needed.”
In the event of an impending or escalating public safety concern, notifynow will send out a message to subscribers. When signing up, subscribers have the option of receiving messages by:
Subscribers can choose one communication method or all of them.
“We strongly encourage residents to sign up for notifynow so they can receive messages via text, email or phone,” says Goulden-McLeod. “It’s also important for residents who already have a notifynow account to check their profile and make sure their information is up to date.”
The national emergency alerting system, Alert Ready, will also be tested Canada-wide on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at 1:55 p.m. The Alert Ready test message will be sent via TV, radio and compatible wireless devices.
EMO extends its thanks to its valued notifynow sponsors, ERCO and Saputo, for their continued support of technology that helps protect residents’ health and safety.
