In case of an emergency such as a large fire, flood, or power outage, rapid communication is crucial. The municipality of Kapelle-op-den-Bos therefore uses BE-Alert, a system that informs residents via SMS, email, or phone. This system will be tested on Thursday, October 1st.
On October 1st, residents of the municipality may receive an email from the address no-reply@be-alert.be. The message will state: 'BE-Alert municipality Kapelle-op-den-Bos - This is an alert test, no reaction required.' More information about how BE-Alert works is available at www.be-alert.be.
This test aims to practice the municipality's internal alerting procedures and to make residents aware of the importance of being informed immediately during emergencies. For residents who have not yet registered, the test also offers an opportunity to sign up via the website www.be-alert.be.
BE-Alert is an alerting system that can inform citizens during emergency situations. It enables a mayor, governor, or the Minister of Internal Affairs to send messages quickly to anyone who might be affected by an emergency. This allows for necessary recommendations, such as closing windows and doors during a fire.
To receive a test message, registration on www.be-alert.be is required. Registration forms should be completed as fully as possible. The municipality encourages residents to register today and participate in the test on October 1st.
It is important to maintain your BE-Alert profile properly. Personal data can be added, modified, or deleted at any time. Users can register up to five addresses, including their home address, workplace, and other important addresses such as those of family members.
Registration and data updates can be done via the website www.be-alert.be. After logging in with your email address and chosen password, you can review and adjust your details, then confirm the changes.
