For the first time this year, the CAP alert activated FM radio interrupters at four radio stations &#8211; ABS, Observer, Lighthouse and Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows for on-air programmes to be interrupted with an emergency message being read by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This aspect of the exercise went well at two of the stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, telecoms companies also came on board to help send the alert out via text messaging. \u00a0Support through sirens and other alerting mechanisms were provided by the fire and police forces, the Emergency Medical Services (EMS), the Antigua and Barbuda Red Cross, Antigua and Barbuda Search and Rescue (ABSAR), the Eastern Caribbean Marina and Boardyard Limited at Jolly Harbour and Stonewall Sound System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped
