answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2022 answer text <p>The Emergency Alerts capability is expected to be trialled nationally later this year. This will be preceded by a public information campaign culminating in a national welcome message - a simultaneous test message sent to all compatible mobile phones across the United Kingdom. This approach has been found elsewhere to maximise awareness and understanding on how recipients should react on receiving alerts.</p><p>The capability is expected to be launched with a focus over the winter on extreme weather related events. Subject to an evaluation in the spring, its scope will likely be widened out to other use cases. There will always be a very high threshold for issuing an alert based on strict criteria centred on an immediate threat to life and the applicability of the capability to the event in hand, rather than a scenario driven approach.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 20/10/2022 11:11:58 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
