Road users are being warned ahead of the emergency alert test
The siren will flash upon devices with a warning message attached on Sunday, April 23 as authorities carry out a nationwide test of the new system. People will be required to acknowledge the government alert if their phone is locked.
Discussions are now being held with the transport sector as well as with domestic charities and sporting officials, with the police, fire and ambulance services in talks about how to deal with potential issues following the trial, reports the Mirror. “If they have the phone in the car and an odd sound goes off there could be some form of panic,” he said.
The test alert can be turned off via phone settings, but it is hoped that the majority of people across the country will keep the siren option to allow warnings to be issued in the event of life threatening situation in the future.
