Kuwait’s General Directorate of Civil Defense has begun testing a new mobile alert system designed to notify residents of potential or ongoing emergencies. Authorities clarified that recent alert messages sent to users were part of this trial phase and asked the public to disregard them, apologizing for any inconvenience.
The system is intended to enhance emergency communication and improve public response during critical situations. It is currently being rolled out on Android and Huawei devices, with plans to expand to Apple devices later.
The alert system operates on multiple levels, with the highest level triggering urgent warning tones, while lower levels deliver notifications via SMS with alert sounds.
