The population of the Port d’Alc\u00fadia area will receive a simulated message on their mobile phones this Wednesday at 12:00 noon. In this way, the Balearic Islands will test the new system of alerts to the population, known as ES-Alert or reverse 112, which allows the generalised and immediate sending of emergency notifications in the event of an extraordinary emergency or catastrophe to mobile phones that are connected to the telephone networks within a given area.<\/p>\n
Smartphone users connected to the mobile phone antennas located in the Port d’Alc\u00fadia area will receive an alert notification on their devices that will be displayed in a similar way to a text message. The notification will announce that it is a test, will occupy the entire screen and will be accompanied by a beep and a vibration. Depending on the characteristics of the emergencies for which the alerts will be issued, the beep and vibration will occur even when the phone is muted, locked or in “Do Not Disturb” status.<\/p>\n
The specific text of the alert will be: “TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST. This is a message from the new emergency alert system of the Directorate-General for Emergencies and the Interior via mobile phone networks. Once you have read the message, press “Accept” to remove it from the screen. No action is required. Do not call 112. TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST”.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
