The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

Your mobile phone or tablet may get an emergency alert if there’s a danger to life nearby. Alerts tell you what to do to stay safe.

'Triggers’ refers to anything which sets off a strong, uncontrolled emotional response far stronger than would be proportionate to the thing you’re responding to. It may kick you into fight-or-flight mode, make you extremely distressed, anxious or angry.

Remember to treat yourself with kindness and give yourself the sympathy you would give someone else in distress. Read our 'Dealing with triggers at the Festivals' resource, for tips on recognising and dealing with triggers: https://lght.ly/dnh9677
