EVERY MISSING PERSON DESERVES AN ALERT

The UK emergency alert system doesn't cover missing persons. We're changing that.

Why this matters

The numbers don't lie

170,000+
people reported missing in the UK every year

That's one person every 3 minutes, yet the emergency alert system sends zero missing persons alerts.

55M+
UK phones can receive emergency alerts

The infrastructure already exists. Every compatible phone in the country can be reached instantly.

0
missing persons alerts sent since the system launched

Since April 2023, the UK alert system has been used for weather and flooding, but never for missing persons.

The problem

THE GAP IN OUR ALERT SYSTEM

What the system covers

  • Severe weather warnings
  • Flooding emergencies
  • Nuclear incidents
  • National security threats

What it doesn't cover

  • Missing children
  • Missing vulnerable adults
  • Missing persons with dementia
  • Abduction alerts

Countries including the USA, Canada, France, and the Netherlands already use alert systems for missing persons. The UK is behind.
