BE-Alert is an alerting system designed to notify citizens during emergency situations. It enables a mayor, governor, or the Minister of Internal Affairs to send messages to anyone potentially affected by an emergency. This allows for rapid dissemination of necessary recommendations, such as closing windows and doors during a fire.

It is important to maintain one's personal profile on BE-Alert. Users can add, modify, or delete their personal information at any time. Furthermore, up to five addresses can be registered, including home, work, and other significant locations such as those of family members.
Registration and data updates can be done via www.be-alert.be. After logging in with an email address and chosen password, users can review and adjust their details before confirming the registration.
