    Sound emergency alert on UK phones – but silent for some – BBC News

























    BreakHot news

    Summary

    1. Sirens have sounded on smartphones across the UK as part of a government test of a system that will be used to warn of life-threatening emergencies
    2. However, early reports suggest that many people did not receive the warning, and for some it appeared earlier than expected.
    3. Network Three said it was aware of “several customers” that were affected and received no notification
    4. It is designed for use in severe weather-related events, such as severe floods, fires and extreme weather, and can also be used in terrorist attacks.
    5. Cabinet minister Oliver Dowden said it would only be used in situations where there is a direct risk to life
    6. The test was originally scheduled for the early evening but has been rescheduled to avoid a clash with the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium, which kicks off at 16:30
