RedAlert - Alerts in Israel

Description

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
