Has anyone else received an alert on their mobile informing of a civil protection alert? 

It states after receiving just remove from Home Screen as it’s just a test but gives no information as to what this test is for?

Yes, we got that too. The police posted yesterday on the N332 page that they were doing an update between 10 and 11 this morning.

Here's some info about it from last week's Murcia Today site:

We didn't receive an alert.

Maybe your app needed updating?

Thanks Mags, which app would that be? I haven't looked into the phone settings yet.

Neither of our Spanish mobiles received it but I've just checked my husband's English SIM phone and it has come through onto that one. I thought I heard something about 10:15 but did not think to check that one!

I received it and didn't realise that there was such a thing. As for the usefulness.  Who knows
