All residents and businesses should be advised that this coming Wednesday, October 3 at approximately 2:20 p.m., the Federal Government will be testing a new wireless alert system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert Warning System). At this time, all wireless devices from coast to coast including phones, televisions and radios will receive a test message to ensure the system is working properly. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? 1. Be aware of this test, and tell your family, friends and neighbors to be ready for it as well. For phones and other wireless smart devices, it will simply require a click to acknowledge and dismiss the message. 2. If you live or work in Berrien County, or know people who do, the Berrien County Emergency Preparedness Team wants to collect a few quick data points from you on the test via an online survey.
