Emergency Alert Test
Please see the below link to the GOV.UK Emergency Alert Test campaign materials page which is being shared for onward cascade.
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.
Please find the GOV.UK link below to access key messages, generic short and long copy, digital assets, posters and leaflets as well as information for vulnerable audiences, including victims of domestic violence, who might have a concealed phone that they would need to take action in order to turn the alert off.
