New Emergency Alert Message Test: Separate Times for Each Province

A new test of sending an emergency text message will take place on Friday, March 6, 2026, with different sending times for each province. Initially, the message will be sent to SIM card holders without a registered address shortly before 5:00 PM. This will be followed by sending per province: Paphos (5:00 PM), Famagusta (5:30 PM), Nicosia (6:00 PM), Larnaca (6:30 PM), and Limassol (7:00 PM). The message will state the province to which the potential incident relates. This test is being conducted to improve the message sending process in the event of a real need, as delays occurred and some citizens did not receive the message in the previous test.
