Every mobile phone to receive emergency alert: When it will happen - and what it will say
Sky NewsTuesday, July 8, 2025 at 12:05:00 AM
The government is testing a new emergency alert system that will send a loud notification to every mobile phone in the country—yes, even if it’s on silent. Think of it like an Amber Alert, but for nationwide emergencies like extreme weather or security threats. The alert is scheduled for a specific date (check the article for when), and it’ll include instructions on what to do. No need to panic; it’s just a drill to make sure the system works when it really counts.
Editor’s Note: Emergency alerts aren’t new, but this is the first time the system’s being tested nationwide. If it works, it could be a game-changer for getting critical info out fast during disasters. Some folks might find the sudden alarm annoying, but it’s a small price to pay for a tool that could save lives. Plus, it’s a heads-up to check if your phone’s settings allow these alerts—just in case.
