🚨TEST - National Emergency Mobile Alert 07/09/2025 🚨

Dear All Residents, 

The UK Government will send a test Emergency Alert to mobile phones across the UK at around 15:00 on 7th September 2025.

Mobile phones in the UK will be sent a test Emergency Alert, as part of plans to strengthen the country’s preparedness. The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. It allows vital information and advice to be sent to people rapidly in an emergency.

During the test, mobile phones will vibrate and make a loud siren sound for roughly ten seconds, even if they are set to silent. A message will also appear on phone screens, making it clear the alert is only a test. There are approximately 87 million mobile phones in the UK.

Kind regards,

Ealing Common Safer Neighbourhoods Team
