UK emergency alert test 7 September
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.
Where possible, please let survivors know they can opt out of this test. Find information on how to disable alerts for safety reasons at Opting out of emergency alerts
