Reinstate a national air-raid siren system to protect the public in major emergencies.

The Issue

The UK relies heavily on digital alerts (mobile networks, apps, broadcast). In a large-scale national emergency — including conflict or catastrophic infrastructure failure — those systems could be disabled, leaving communities without timely warning.


We ask the Government to:


 • Commission a feasibility study for a nationwide, traditional air‑raid siren system.


 • Fund and implement a pilot in selected regions within 12 months.


 • Require local authorities to install, maintain and test sirens, coordinated by local resilience forums and emergency services.


 • Run a public education campaign explaining signals and responses.


Why this matters: sirens are a simple, resilient, public-facing alert that do not depend on mobile or internet coverage, and can warn people who are outdoors or without devices. A national approach ensures uniform signals, testing, and maintenance.


Sign to demand a timetable, funding and national coordination to restore a dependable public warning system.
