How to Set Up Trusted Alert Centre in Under Two Minutes

If you want trusted weather, flood and overflow updates without notification overload, this setup takes less than two minutes.

Step 1: Open Trusted Alert Centre

Go to the Trusted Alert Centre setup screen from the app menu.

Step 2: Choose UK or International

  • **UK** gives location-based channels (weather, flood, storm overflows)
  • **International** gives FCDO travel channels
  • Step 3: Set your location

    Use one of these:

  • Search by postcode/address
  • Use current location
  • Then pick your radius:

  • 5 km
  • 10 km
  • 20 km
  • Step 4: Filter channels

    Use category filters to narrow the list:

  • Weather
  • Flood
  • Storm overflows (live spills)
  • For Met Office warnings, you can split by severity so Amber/Red can be treated differently from Yellow.

    Step 5: Subscribe in bulk

    Select all, select specific targets, then subscribe in one action.

    Step 6: Manage your inbox

    Inside Trusted Alert Centre inbox you can:

  • Mark alerts read/unread
  • Mark all read
  • Dismiss an alert without unsubscribing
  • Read/dismiss state persists per user across devices, so your inbox stays consistent if you switch phone, browser or laptop.

    Final thought

    Set it once, review quickly, and only follow the alert targets that matter to your household.
