Tens of millions of phones successfully sounded across the country during today’s Emergency Alert test. This is an important step in keeping people safe during national emergencies.

Thank you for taking part in today’s Emergency Alert test, which saw tens of millions of phones successfully receive the message across the country. The test took just seconds, but will help the government keep the country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The UK emergency alert has cost the taxpayer £25.3 million for its first three years. Another enormous waste of money. #emergencyalert
