The National Emergency Alert System will be tested on Sunday 23rd April
The UK government’s new Emergency Alerts system is now live. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/launch-of-life-saving-public-emergency-alerts
The system will enable people to be contacted via their mobile phone when lives are in danger. Emergency Alerts are sent to compatible mobile phones within an area of risk.
They don’t track your location, need your phone number, or collect personal data, and only the emergency services can send them.
You can check an alert is genuine at gov.uk/alerts
