Hi All,There's going to be a test of the UK's emergency alert system on Sunday 23rd April, which means that most smartphones and tablets will make a loud sound and vibrate for about 10 seconds at 3pm (even if set to silent). I don't think this has been broadcast widely enough, and wanted to make sure as many people are prepared as possible!https://www.gov.uk/alerts
Thanks for the important reminder and link. I react badly to alarms, like a smoke detector. I also wonder and worry if this could be used to warn us about something awful we're not being told about.
