Have had it a few times on mine & the Radio switches to Classic FM (IIRC) where the broadcast in times of trouble is then transmitted.
Nothing to worry about it's a radio station sending it by mistake.

Wow! Interesting, I am still of an age expecting a siren would sound as a warning! Which I hasten to add I would still need if driving my antique Landy.
Wonder how many drivers were startled like me by by this mistake.
I guess all media including mobiles can be used for warnings however.
Many thanks for your info Andy.
