Alert and protect: national deployment of the FR-Alert system

FR-Alert is the new population alert and information system. Deployed on the national territory since the end of June 2022, FR-Alert makes it possible to warn in real time any person holding a mobile phone of their presence in a danger zone in order to inform them of the behavior to adopt to protect themselves.



If you are in one of the areas concerned by an imminent danger or a major risk, you can receive a notification accompanied by a specific sound signal, even if your mobile phone is in silent mode.

Receiving this notification does not require any prior installation on your phone.

Depending on the brand of the mobile phone, the operator and the place in which you are when the alert is sent, different times for receiving notifications may be observed.

This tool is complementary to existing alert systems (more than 2,000 sirens connected to remote triggering software, the activation of TV and radio media for the broadcast of alert and information messages on their antennas as well as the mobilization of institutional accounts on social networks, etc.) and constitutes an appropriate response to a wide scope of risks and threats.
