Don't panic! If you receive an alert or hear a loud siren-like sound it's a tes.

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.
