Torrance alerts residents to South Bay wireless emergency alert test; sign up for Torrance Alerts

City staff announced that a regional wireless emergency alert test will be conducted across the South Bay and urged residents to sign up for the city's notification service, Torrance Alerts. Nicole Nash, speaking for the city, said the test message will be sent to compatible mobile devices so agencies can evaluate emergency notification systems.

The announcement was part of a brief city council recap. The test is intended to help local and regional agencies assess how well alert messages reach mobile devices across the area; the transcript did not specify an exact date or time. "The test message will be sent to compatible mobile devices in the area and is designed to help agencies evaluate emergency notification systems," Nash said.

Nash encouraged residents to enroll in Torrance Alerts to receive important notifications directly from the city. The city did not provide a signup link or further technical details in the recap; residents seeking more information should check the city's official communications channels. The recap also noted that the full council meeting is posted on Torrance City Cable's YouTube channel.

The city’s notice was informational; no vote or formal action was recorded in the recap.
