Emergency Alert Test - information for care providers

On Sunday 7 September at 3pm, the UK government will test the Emergency Alerts system. 

The test will be sent to all compatible 4G and 5G mobile phones and tablets across the UK.  You will hear a loud siren-like sound, vibration, and a message will appear on the screen confirming that this is a test. The sound and vibration will last for about 10 seconds. You will not need to take any further action. 

If you are a care provider there's a range of resources available, including easy read content and BSL videos that may be useful to help explain what's happening, you can access them here.
