Don’t forget – the the National Emergency Alert test will be happening at the weekend. The UK government is testing the system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Your mobile phone or tablet will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound, even if it’s set on silent. The alert message will confirm this is a test and that you do not need to take any further action.

Emergency Alerts will warn you via your mobile or tablet if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby. Only the government and the emergency services are able to send them.

The UK Government will send a test Emergency Alert to mobile phones across the UK at around 15:00 on 7th September 2025
