The Civil Defence Force will activate the CY-ALERT early warning system on Tuesday, 10 November, as part of the NEAMWave2026 exercise.
Test notifications will be issued between 11am and 3pm to mobile phones located in coastal areas covered by the exercise scenario.
According to Civil Defence, multiple alert messages will be sent through the system's testing channel during the exercise.
The notifications will be received by devices with the option to receive test alerts enabled.
No action required
Civil Defence stressed that the alerts form part of an exercise only.
There is no real emergency, no actual tsunami threat and no action is required from the public.
The aim of NEAMWave2026 is to test early warning procedures and strengthen the operational readiness of emergency services in the event of an earthquake and tsunami.
