‘It is no different to testing a fire alarm’

- Jon Coates

Don't be alarmed...it's just a drill!

MILLIONS of mobile phones will sound a loud alarm this afternoon as Britain’s emergency alert system is tested.

But new Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden has urged people to “Keep calm and carry on!”.

Millions of phones across the country will emit a loud noise and vibrate for about 10 seconds at 3pm to trial the lifesaving system.

The alert, revealed by this newspaper and modelled on ones in the US and Canada, will be used in life-threatening situations such as flooding and wildfires.

As well as an alarm sounding, a text message will say: “This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby.
