Forgive my cynicism but somehow I don't think I would need to be warned via my mobile phone in the event of local flooding or forest fires in my area - it should be pretty obvious well in advance! I can't help wondering if H.M. Gov. is preparing us for nuclear war in the event our friend Putin goes doolally?
