The Government’s new Emergency Alerts service, which allows you to be contacted on your mobile phone if you’re in danger, is now live and will be tested nationally at 3pm next Sunday (23 April).
If you don’t want to receive these alerts and want to disable them, find out how to do so or read more about the scheme at https://gov.uk/alerts
Official advice is to leave them on if possible but you can disable them if, for example, you fear for your safety at home and are keeping a mobile phone in secret.
