Britons encouraged to ‘keep their cool’ during text drill
September 07, 2025
|The Independent
Britons are being urged to “keep their cool” during a nationwide test of the emergency alert system today.
At about 3pm, mobile phones connected to 4G and 5G networks will emit a distinctive siren sound and vibrate for up to 10 seconds. Users will receive a message confirming the alert is a drill. This is the second test of the system. The first was in 2023.
The government has previously deployed the system five times for genuine warnings, including during January’s Storm Eowyn, to alert residents in Scotland and Northern Ireland to severe weather conditions.
