Government warning

About Emergency Alerts

Your mobile phone or tablet may get an emergency alert if there’s a danger to life nearby. Alerts tell you what to do to stay safe.

It might just be me and how I'm feeling with what's happening elsewhere and I know it has been under consideration but this seems quite a worrying development.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, if you are close to the site of a major disaster, either manmade or natural, I dont think an APP alert will help.
Just flow with it and enjoy the ride.

I'd be more worried that we had no emergency alerts

EDITED: The Government uploaded a How-To video about Emergency Alerts in June 2021

Watched the video. Her voice is properly sinister yet sexy at the same time.

It will all be over by the time this Government notices anything.

I'm sure they've got a bung sponsorship deal to fund it.
"This alert was brought to you by Gazprom".

They've had it in the States for years.

I wouldn't read too much into that mate, there was a VERY similar (if not the same) message on there a year or 2 ago.

They even used the same 3 images alongside the "reasons you may get an alert" heading.

Probably just something they had to put on the backburner because of Coldvid.

Not a patch on Protect and Survive. I felt really safe after watching this.
Only problem now is, would Putin do this?
All the signs at the moment are probably yes.

They had a false alarm go off in Hawaii in 2019 I think, remember hearing about it at the time.

Just looked at my settings to see if I have the options to turn them off, and I do. Considering it

Probably our lass moonlighting Randy.
