Emergency Alert is the national telephone warning system used by emergency services to send voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobile phones within a defined area about potential emergencies.ie “Floods, fires and other significant events can impact pose significant threat to members of the community in impacted area. Emergency Alert allows telephony notifications to be distributed to these areas, through both mobile and land line services, to provide warning of these events.
Emergency Alert is just one way of warning communities and will not be used in all circumstances. Emergency Alert relies on telecommunications networks to send messages, and message delivery cannot be guaranteed.
