By then a signal will be available I’m sure.

The test turned out to be institutionally racist somehow according to The Guardian.

We've had this for years, generally to warn you about adverse weather conditions or if a child has been abducted where they'll give you a brief description/ licence plate etc We had them in Florida for warnings about tornadoes (which can form very quickly) and so I can understand that 150mph vortices need to be warned about…but I am a cynic and so I can see it being used to tell you not to go outside if you haven’t paid your council tax that month.
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

After a few hours expecting an apocalyptic deluge the slight shower than followed was quite disappointing.

It seems a sensible idea the media are complaining as usual but they would be the first to be up in arms if a disaster happened and the government was accused of failing to warn people. This is a test of the technology how they use it is another matter.

If you search your settings with 'emergency alerts' you should be able to turn it off. I have a routine android device it was that simple.

It's intended to warn you of an imminent disaster - namely that the Weeds might beat Man Ure and get to the FA Cup final.
