UK National emergency alert April 23rd- what is it?
The Government have warned millions of UK residents about something that will affect them April 23rd at 3pm.
A new national alert system is being tested and will cause mobile phones to vibrate and let off a loud siren sound. It’s an emergency siren that will affect every 4G or 5G mobile device and is intended for use in life threatening situations. It’s also been stated that this is just a test and real warnings will be rare.
Those who receive the message will also find it accompanied by a loud sound and vibration lasting up to 10 seconds. They will then have to acknowledge they have received it by either swiping or clicking the alert after which they will be able to continue to use their phones. Alerts are based on your current location; it has been stated that location settings will not need to be on in order to receive the warning.
Officials have also said that the alert will only be received by those who own a 4G or 5G phone, those who don’t will not be sent the alert directly. The warning messages ‘will not replace local news, radio, television or social media’ is something which the government have reiterated. Therefore, those that won’t receive the message will still be made aware of any potential threats or emergency warnings.
The planned test falls on St. George’s day which will see major events such as the London Marathon and Premier League fixtures taking place. The government have worked closely with officials to ensure that as little disruption as possible is caused and these events will not be affected.
When might you receive this warning?
You might receive it due to extreme weather, fires or flooding as examples and will only be sent by emergency services, government departments, agencies and public bodies that deal with emergencies.
What will it say?
According to the gov.uk site the alert will read “This is a test of emergency alerts, a new UK government service that will warn you if there’s a life-threatening emergency nearby. In an actual emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe. Visit gov.uk/alerts for more information. This is a test. You do not need to take any action.”
