UK Emergency Alerts Test this Sunday – advice for Domestic Abuse Survivors

The UK government will test the Emergency Alerts system at 3pm. Compatible phones and tablets will make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. No action is needed.

Advice for Domestic Abuse Survivors: If you’re using a hidden phone or tablet:

• Switch it off or use Airplane Mode before 3pm

• Or opt out in your settings:

– iPhone: Settings → Notifications → turn off Emergency Alerts

– Android: Settings → Safety & Emergency → Wireless Emergency Alerts → turn off Emergency Alerts
