Amman, July 27 (Petra) – The National Center for Security and Crisis Management (NCSCM) has begun a series of operational trials of Jordan's national mobile warning messaging system across most governorates from July 27 through August 2 to assess its readiness for use during crises, disasters and emergencies.
In a statement issued Monday, the center said the trials are being conducted in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission and licensed telecommunications operators.
The center said the tests are intended to evaluate the system's performance, including the speed of alert delivery, the effectiveness of warning messages and the overall efficiency of the national early warning system.
Authorities urged the public not to be alarmed upon receiving the test messages, which will be sent in both Arabic and English and accompanied by an audible alert to ensure they are immediately noticed.
