Emergency Alerts is a UK government service that will warn you if there’s a danger to life nearby. In an emergency, your mobile phone or tablet will receive an alert with advice about how to stay safe.

Remember:
- The alert is a test
- You are not required to take any action
- It will be automatically sent to your mobile device
- Your device will wake and make an alarm sound
- The alarm can be dismissed
