In order to implement a European directive of 11 December 2018, EU Member States are obliged to set up FR-ALERT, which is a new population alert platform, as of June 2022. This system is based on a multi-channel broadcasting portal (telephony, sirens, media, etc.) and, via all operators combining two technologies, cellular broadcasting (Cell-Broadcast) and geolocalised SMS, which will broadcast a message indicating the nature of the alert, the area concerned and the instructions for how to react in the event of a major event. FR-ALERT will be used across the whole territory and targets all types of crises.
This project is carried out under the supervision of The Ministery of Interior
