UK Sunday 7 September 3 pm Mobile Emergency Alert Test

Might be worth adding a reminder to your calendar (to reduce being startled):

"The national system for sending emergency alerts to mobile phones in the UK will be tested again this September, the government has said.

It will see compatible phones vibrate and make a siren sound for 10 seconds while displaying a message at 15:00 BST on 7 September, even if they are set to silent."

  • Thanks for letting us know. I've set a reminder on my phone to let me know it's going to happen. Last year I had an emergency alert on my phone because of high winds. It scared the life out of me at the time lol. 

    I appreciate your letting us know about this alert. Last time it was a sudden frightening surprise.
