UK Emergency Alert

Posted by: oliverbarnard - Posted on:

A UK-wide emergency alert test will take place on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

Mobile phones will emit a loud siren and vibrate – even if they are on silent.

Whilst these alerts aim to protect the public in emergencies, they could put victim-survivors of domestic abuse at risk – especially those who rely on hidden phones as part of their safety plan.
