BRITS will from today get \u201cArmageddon alerts\u201d on their mobile phones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mayday system has been set up to warn of disasters, such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is due to be tested across the UK on Sunday April 23 \u2014 St George\u2019s Day \u2014 when no action will be required.<\/p>\n

Ministers decided to set up the system in the wake of Covid because it cost a small fortune to send texts to people\u2019s phones warning about the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The alerts will be used very rarely \u2014 when there is an immediate risk to people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

A loud siren will sound for up to ten seconds and your phone will vibrate. <\/p>\n

The emergency message will appear on your home screen detailing the alert and may include telephone numbers or website links containing further information.<\/p>\n

Most risks are localised, so some people may not receive one for months or years on end.<\/p>\n

Other countries, including Japan and the US, already have their own SOS text systems.<\/p>\n

Senior Cabinet minister Oliver Dowden said: \u201cWe are strengthening our national resilience with a new emergency alerts system. It will revolutionise our ability to warn and inform people who are in immediate danger, and help keep people safe.<\/p>\n

Mark Hardingham, who chairs the National Fire Chiefs Council, said: \u201cWe look forward to having the facility here in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n
