Glaswegians will receive emergency alerts sent to their mobile devices as part of a test by the UK government this month.
The alerts, which will be siren-like, will sound for around 10 seconds and vibrate. It will also show a message on your home screen which will likely tell you that it is a test and you will not need to do anything.
After the 10 seconds has passed, the message will disappear and the sounds and vibrations will also stop. However, they can be stopped sooner by simply pressing 'ok' on your device.
