On October 1st, BE-Alert sent a test message via email to all registered residents. 100% of the 2246 messages sent were received correctly. While email was chosen for this test, the system can also send alerts via SMS or as a spoken message by phone in emergency situations.
BE-Alert is a warning system designed to notify citizens during emergencies. 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.
