G-DACS alerts are automatically shown on your dashboard. View the latest INFORM hazards for your country directly on your screen or add your own priority hazards.
Monitor your risks through the online hazard monitoring system. Choose your own indicators, monitoring frequency, and trigger points (ALERT provides useful suggestions).
Humanitarian agencies can customise their own set of mandatory preparedness activities (Minimum and Advanced preparedness activities) and would come preloaded in ALERT for their country offices.
ALERT promotes evidence-based preparedness. Both minimum and advanced preparedness activities require uploaded documentation to achieve green status.
