In 2025, nearly every mobile phone in the UK will receive a test message as part of the national Emergency Alerts system. This system, established by the UK government and mobile operators, is designed to warn citizens of immediate dangers, such as severe weather or fires. Alerts will include loud sirens and invaluable safety information. Following successful tests, the government intends to conduct more operator tests to ensure the system functions effectively, further enhancing public safety management in emergencies.
In an emergency, your mobile phone or tablet will receive an alert with advice about how to stay safe.
The alerts will only be sent by emergency services, government departments, agencies and public bodies.
Following the successful test of the UK Emergency Alerts system in 2023, the government said it would carry out occasional operator tests.
Emergency Alerts is a UK government service that warns people when there's a danger to life nearby.
