Emergency alert to be sent to all phones
Sunday Mercury
|September 07, 2025
AN emergency alert drill will send a test message to mobile phones across the UK today (September 7).
-
It will mark the second test of the national emergency alert system - after the first in 2023.
Today, at around 3pm, mobile phones connected to 4G and 5G networks will vibrate and emit a siren sound for up to 10 seconds.
Mobile phone users will also receive a message making clear that the alert is a drill.
The Government has used the system to issue real warnings five times, including in January during Storm Eowyn to warn people in Scotland and Northern Ireland about severe weather.
