The FR-Alert tsunami alert was triggered

COASTAL – Your phone may have startled you this Friday, January 19 around 10 a.m. The smartphones of people on the Mediterranean coast received an audible and text alert. This was a test of the tsunami alert tool, FR-Alert. An exercise announced for several days. "No particular action was expected from the population upon receipt of this FR-Alert message and no means of responding to this was expected. was engaged in the field (firefighters, police…). The sirens of the population alert and information system (SAIP) will not be triggered – they would be in the event of a tsunami alert", the authorities specified.

In the event of a real threat, the message must be used to alert civilian populations of a tsunami which is expected to reach the coast in less than an hour. The procedure to follow would then be to leave the coast as quickly as possible, on foot, towards the interior of the land, or to move further out to sea for people who are at sea. Last October, a tsunami exercise took place on Frontignan beach, near Sète.
