SaskAlert is the Government of Saskatchewan's emergency public alerting program that provides critical information on emergencies in real time, so you can take action to protect yourself, your family and your property.

Key features of the SaskAlert App include:
• alerts for life-threatening and developing situations

An emergency alert issued through SaskAlert will:
• let you know what the emergency is;

• provide instructions for you to follow to stay safe;
• and advise you when the incident is over.

Alerts can be issued by Government of Saskatchewan ministries, crowns and agencies, local governing jurisdictions and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
