The disaster authority has been testing these alerts that have popped up on people's phone.

[{"selector":"#anim-7346b860-0303-41bb-ade5-2fcb657cea05 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-11.309523850699271%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

These people got a flash message with a loud sound which created concern among them.

[{"selector":"#anim-79b00e30-24b5-4524-9016-739076cb1673 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-24.99575929906797%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The content on the message clearly states that it is a sample testing message.

[{"selector":"#anim-64a55185-787d-43e6-8807-442537b1a330 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(18.730274983733974%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It says people don't need to take any action against this message.

Emergency alerts are used to inform people about any possible natural disaster or any other national issue.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb0d79e1-b142-4763-8801-031376593194 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.23809527536985%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The govt informs people that it will be sending these alerts regularly to make sure the telcos can handle such heavy broadcast.

[{"selector":"#anim-07eff326-aebc-42e3-ad69-d4ec13141b37 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Many countries have used this alert system to transmit such messages and India is finally going to have the support.

[{"selector":"#anim-5a436438-35dc-4b8b-b7d1-add5b06a6ea0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The tests are being done with a limited group of people, which suggests a largescale broadcast will be tested soon.
