Don't worry, it was just a test. But that doesn't mean it didn't catch most of us off guard.
Below are just some of the most hilarious Twitter reactions to this latest test.
I didn’t get the #EmergencyAlert but I just assume the government would likely let me die in an emergency anyways ... #PrepForYourself #BeYourOwn911

For some, the alert was a threat in itself...
My phone never seems to receive the emergency alert messages. I guess I'll just die. #emergencyalert pic.twitter.com/NDOYw9QFa7

There are clearly still some flaws that need to be addressed.

You're out of luck if you live in a place with spotty cell service.
Apparently I am NOT one of those people needed to re-populate the Earth after the apocalypse.

I guess when a real emergency happens I will continue blithely meandering through my life, unaware of impending doom. #emergencyalert 🇨🇦 #Canada#nowarning #onmyown
If a zombie apocalypse was happening right now, I wouldn’t have been notified :( #dramatic #EmergencyAlert @Bell_MTSHelps

Welcome to Québec's "presidential alert" system #EmergencyAlert pic.twitter.com/h9XyxK4b4H

There were some reports that the alert was mislabelled a "presidential alert."
Quebec government just issued an #EmergencyAlert as well. pic.twitter.com/ICP3Q4gLhF

Since the last emergency test failed miserably, it seems that government wanted to be extra sure you got the alert this time...
