If you receive an alert, it will include a phone number or a link to the GOV.UK website for more information.

Remember, it is illegal to use a hand-held device while driving or riding.
If you do not have a compatible device, you’ll still be informed about an emergency. The emergency services have other ways to warn you when there is a threat to life.
Emergency alerts will not replace local news, radio, television or social media.
If you have a vision or hearing impairment, audio and vibration attention signals will let you know you have an emergency alert.
To avoid being put at risk, people experiencing domestic abuse, who for their safety have a secret or secondary mobile phone, are being advised to run off Emergency Alerts.
This is because the alert will play a sound even if the phone is on silent. The alert will play a loud siren and vibrate, and the phone will not be useable until the alert is acknowledged.
Refuge has made this video explaining how to turn off the emergency alerts on both Android and iPhone.
Emergency alerts will be sent in English. In Wales, they may also be sent in Welsh.
