Some people have "secret" phones that are kept hidden from abusive / controlling partners. The phone can be used in emergency to call for help.
The emergency alert test may cause these phones to sound and thus make the abusive partner aware of the phone. It is suggested that these covert phones be switched off at the time of the test.

Our governments like emergencies.
Even if set to silent, they will still sound !!!!!!
May cause a lot of issues ........ in those situations

No the alert can still be turned off but it has to be properly turned off as it will be on by default. I've already turned mine off.
Is that a serious comment? Or are you just really thick?
Obviously but who gives a **** about them, do you really think those in abusive relationships do not have second phones too? Idiot.
So you are just really thick then.
Whoo there it is, misogynistic and homophobic.
Is there a need for such an 'emergency warning'? Its supposed to be used only if there is an iminent risk of death/injury.
I have trouble thinking of any recent emergency where an early warning system would have prevented a death.
I can understand in places like the USA where tornadoes are a regular occurance and can form at short notice.

Governments, for some reason - perhaps job creation, like to scare us with pretend emergencies. There is only one national emergency at present: the invasion on the south coast, but, of course, our Government is playing this down. Nothing to see here! Apart from the invasion I have never known a genuine nationwide, life-or-death emergency in Britain in my lifetime.
I'm sure the residents of Whaley Bridge, would have been very grateful for such a system, when the Toddbrook Reservoir was a risk of flooding the town.
