Too Many Alerts? CRTC Investigates | Winnipeg News
Description
Manitoba’s June 9th storm dumped hail, torrential rain, and 100+ km/h winds—including a confirmed tornado near Ste. Anne—triggering an unprecedented flood of emergency alerts across the province. Some residents received as many as 20 alerts, even if they weren’t in the storm’s path, sparking public frustration. The CRTC is now investigating with telecom giants to understand what caused the Alert Ready system to overfire, while Environment Canada’s new polygon-based warning system aims to deliver far more targeted alerts in the future. Responses are due by September 11, with findings set to be made public.
