Emergency alerts system to be tested

The Emergency Alerts system in the UK will undergo testing on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 3 pm. During the test, mobile phones and tablets will emit a vibrating and siren-like sound, regardless of their sound settings. The message accompanying the alert will indicate that it is simply a test and that no further action is required.

Regular testing of the Emergency Alerts system is crucial to ensure it functions properly in the event of a life-threatening emergency. Individuals have the option to opt out of receiving these alerts, but it is recommended to keep them turned on for personal safety. These alerts are only sent by the government and emergency services.

To better prepare for such situations, it is advisable to take simple and effective steps to ensure readiness. For more information on how to prepare for emergencies, visit gov.uk/prepare
