The federal government will test a new national warning system on Monday, July 27. You won’t be able to opt out.

    It does play a sound at full volume. I was in a waiting room at my GP when they sent the test alerts in 2023 or so, it was quite funny hearing every phone in the room going off one by one.

      Oh yes, I have actually seen this before now that I think about it. A German streamer received one of these alerts about a month ago because there was an explosion at a chemical plant in his city.
