There was two system that was to Warn the UK in the event of a nuclear attack was confirmed by RAF Fylingdales or the USA's Defense Support Program

1. HANDLE which was a network of 252 carrier control points fitted in police stations linked to thousands of Receivers across the country in Police, Fire Coastguard stations, Government and Industrial buildings, Hospitals and Royal Observer corp's observation posts some in rural areas were installed in post offices, public or private homes and churches (example: https://youtu.be/PBQfRv8HDdQ)

2. 4-Minute warning was the recorded message to be transmitted by the BBC in the event of nuclear war it would also work along the BBCs Wartime Broadcasting service in 1991 this according to Wikipedia was the message "Here is an emergency announcement. An air attack is approaching this country. Go to shelter or take cover immediately." Repeated twelve times across 2 ½ minutes a couple other versions exist.

1971 UKWMO film 'sound the alarm' which reads "Here is an emergency announcement. An air attack is approaching this country now. Go to shelter or take cover at once."

1979 Government training which reads "Attack Warning Red. Attack Warning Red. An air attack is approaching this country now. Go to your refuge rooms immediately and remain there until you are told you may come out." If there would have been used is unknown.

A network of sirens would have been activated most dating to world war 2 or newly built for the cold war (example https://youtu.be/ERE8RzqyVfE) along with other forms of communication being used if unavailable like whistles

Following the attack the BBC would remain on the air if possible using the Wartime Broadcasting service which would broadcast news, information and music to try and maintain morale even as most of the country would be destroyed or dying of radiation

May explain a bit further on some of these tommorrow im tired

At 11:32pm on July 24, 2011, an earthquake (4.7 magnitude) hit mainly around Mie prefecture, which would cause TV stations in Japan to start relaying earthquake notices. However, analog broadcasting systems had ended at noon on that day, and had been showing notices since noon. This would cause these earthquake alerts to be the last ones shown on analog TV in Japan. Commercial stations in Oita Prefecture did not show this notice, as they had gone off at 11pm. The main TBS and Fuji TV stations oddly did not show the earthquake warning, although many of its affiliates (including stations in Hokkaido, which would be turned off at 11:50) would end up displaying the message.
