South Bay to take part in regional wireless emergency alert test

Nicole Nash of the City of Torrance said a regional wireless emergency alert test will be conducted across the South Bay to help agencies evaluate emergency notification systems. The test message "will be sent to compatible mobile devices in the area," she said, and is intended to check how well alerts reach residents.

City officials advised residents that signing up for Torrance Alerts provides an additional channel for receiving emergency and major-event notifications directly from the city. Nash directed listeners to city resources for more information on how to enroll and what to expect during the test.

The bulletin noted the test is regional in scope; specific technical compatibility or exact timing for the test were not specified in the announcement. For more details and updates, Nash referred listeners to the City of Torrance website and the recorded council meeting on Torrance City Cable's YouTube channel.
