Akita City is announcing an upcoming nationwide test of the Japan Early Warning System (J-Alert) that will be conducted simultaneously across the country. This important test is scheduled to take place on Monday, August 4th, 2025, at 3:00 AM JST.
The purpose of this nationwide exercise is to ensure the effective and timely dissemination of critical information to the public in the event of emergencies, such as natural disasters or other urgent situations.

During the test, residents may hear alert sounds broadcast through various means, including:
- Public address systems in designated areas.
- Emergency sirens.
- Mobile phone alerts via the national cellular emergency notification service.
