National Emergency Alert Test - Schedules for Sunday 7th September 2025 - Advice for survivors of domestic abuse
On Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm, the UK Government will issue a nationwide Emergency Alert test. All compatible mobile phones will:
- Emit a loud siren (even if on silent)
- Display a warning message
- Sound for around 10 seconds
Survivors of domestic abuse who use a hidden or secondary phone for safety may have that device exposed by the alert, putting them at risk.
