1691

TODAY (Sunday 7 September), the UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts System ❗

🕒 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.
