RedAlert was developed by volunteers to provide real-time emergency alerts for Israeli citizens.
The app relays real-time safety alerts published by the Home Front Command (Pikud Haoref).
Speed & reliability - alerts are received before / during the official siren thanks to dedicated notification servers
Threat types - receive alerts about rocket fire, hostile aircraft intrusion, terrorist infiltration, and more
Alert history - see the list of recent alerts, their location, and time of day (in your local time)
Connectivity test - check, at any time, whether your device is able to receive alerts via the "self-test" option
Sound selection - choose from 15 unique sounds for alerts or choose a custom sound
Silent mode override - the application will override silent / vibrate mode to sound alerts
Area selection - select preferred alert cities / regions by searching for them
Secondary alerts - receive alerts about other areas of interest with a different sound
I'm safe - let your friends and family know you are safe by sending an "I'm safe" message via the app
Localization - the app is available in English & Hebrew
