Oct. 26, 2021 | 0:30
The Alert! Mass Warning Notification System sends registered users emergency warnings and other critical information, such as hazardous road conditions, reporting delays, and base closures due to severe weather. The notifications are mostly local, but may also be theater-wide. The system notifies users in several ways: as a pop-up on their workstation computer, an email to work and home addresses, a text message to their cell phone, and a voicemail to their work, home and cell phones. Alert! is NOT optional – it is an Eighth Army and HQDA requirement to be a registered user. All military, civilian (all categories) and contractor personnel are required to register in Alert!
