Roaming - Will I receive public warnings when roaming in the EU/EEA?

Public warning systems are used to provide you with information about emergencies or major disasters, such as a warning about an earthquake, tsunami or a terrorist attack in the part of the country where you are located. Most EU/EEA countries have public warning systems in place that make it possible for you to receive public warning without taking any action from your end whilst roaming. However, some EU/EEA countries send public warnings through mobile apps.

In the welcome notification (generally by SMS) you receive when you first arrive in an EU/EEA country, there will also be a link to access, free of charge, a webpage with information on the availability of public warning systems in the EU/EEA. Where public warning mobile apps are deployed, the webpage information will also include a link to the mobile app and instructions on how to download the mobile app.
