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