Emergency Mobile Alerts

Emergency Mobile Alerts are messages about emergencies sent by authorised emergency agencies to mobile phones enabled to receive Emergency Mobile Alerts. They can be targeted to areas affected by serious hazards.

If your phone is on, capable and inside the targeted area, you should get the alerts. You don't have to download an app or subscribe to a service, just ensure your phone is capable and updated.

Emergency Mobile Alert is an additional channel to help keep people safe if there is an emergency. It does not replace other emergency alerts. If you feel your life is in danger, don't wait for an official warning. Take immediate action.

Find out more about Emergency Mobile Alerts and capable phones.
