National Alert
This system warns you via your mobile or tablet if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby.
The test will be sent to all compatible 4G and 5G mobile phones and tablets across the UK.
You will hear a loud siren-like sound, vibration, and a message will appear on the screen. The sound and vibration will last for about 10 seconds. You do not need to take any action.
You MUST NOT hold a mobile phone while driving or riding a motorcycle. It is illegal to do so.
If you receive an alert while driving, do not pick up your phone and attempt to deal with the message. Continue driving as normal, staying in full control of your vehicle. If you feel the need to look at your phone, you must find a safe and legal place to pull over first.
