Emergency Alerts
The new Emergency Alerts service is now live. The system
will enable people to be contacted via their mobile phone if their lives are at
risk in an emergency. The service will be used to warn you about
life-threatening emergencies such as severe flooding.
Emergency Alerts are messages sent to all compatible 4G and 5G mobile phones when there’s a danger to your life, health or property in the area you’re located. They don’t need your location or phone number. Only the government and the emergency services can send them. If you don’t have a mobile, you’ll still be kept informed through other channels.
If you get an Emergency Alert on your phone, you’ll hear a loud, siren-like sound. A message on your screen will tell you about the emergency and how best to respond. You’ll be able to check an alert is genuine too.

Somerset Sight
Somerset Sight was founded in 1919 to support people with sight loss in Somerset. Due to the way Devon and Somerset are closely linked with the border snaking around places like Bampton and Dulverton, there are many people who live on the border who would love someone to visit them to chat with, maybe take them on a trip, or help with correspondence.
Therefore, they are looking for people to become a volunteer visitor who might have some spare time, just one hour a week or every two weeks, to be individually matched with a sight impaired person near Bampton or a short drive away. Read the Somerset Sight - we can help booklet for more information.
