On Tuesday (October 28) at 11:30 a.m., a nationwide test of emergency notifications via mobile apps will take place to assess the functionality of the apps as part of the national emergency notification system.
In cooperation with the Rescue Board, test alerts will be sent through the state Eesti.ee and “Ole valmis!” apps.
The Information System Authority (RIA) said a person will receive the emergency alert if they have downloaded the app and enabled notifications. An internet connection is required for the app to function.
The emergency notification feature is located in the “Civil Protection” (Elanikkonnakaitse) services section of the Estonian app.
To configure alerts, open the user icon in the top right corner of the app menu, then go to “Settings” and select “Emergency Alert Settings.”
