Everyone across the country will soon hear a siren-like noise ringing from their phone as the UK Government tests their new emergency alert system.
Emergency Alerts will be used to warn of a danger to life in your area. Your mobile phone or tablet will receive the alerts when required to provide information about how to stay safe.
The alert will be used for dangerous situations including severe flooding, fire and extreme weather, with the UK wide test set to take place on April 23.
