A mayor, governor, or the Minister of Internal Affairs can issue a message through the system to everyone impacted by the emergency. This allows residents to quickly receive necessary recommendations, such as closing windows and doors during a fire.
Residents who did not receive an email are encouraged to register at www.be-alert.be. Completing the registration form is crucial for staying informed during emergencies. It is also important to maintain your BE-Alert profile by adding, modifying, or deleting personal information. Users can register up to five addresses, including their home address, workplace, and other important locations like those of family members.
Registration and data updates can be done via www.be-alert.be. After logging in with your email address and chosen password, users can complete their information and confirm.
