Don't be alarmed, it's just a test 🚨

If you don't want to receive the alert, there are a few ways you can stop it:

📱 Make sure your phone is fully turned off
📱 Turn 'emergency alerts' off in your settings
📱 Turn your phone onto airplane mode

Your phone will sound the alarm and vibrate for approximately 10 seconds and the message will include a link to the government website for more information.
