FlashNet-Terrorism Alert Service
IntelCenter, June 2012
The FlashNet-Terrorism Alert Service provides 24/7 near instant notification to standard email addresses and your cell phone, iPhone, Blackberry or other wireless device of significant terrorist incidents and developments around the world.
Alerts are sent out when a significant terrorist related event occurs. For instance, the 9-11 attack, the London Bombings, Oslo attack and the Times Square and Delta attacks in the US all resulted in alerts. Messages are also sent out for developments which may result in an immediate increased threat, such as the arrest of key al-Qaeda members, new significant threats by terrorist groups or events such as the release of an Osama bin Laden audio tape which may serve as an indicator of a possible upcoming attack.
This is not an automated news service. A watch group of intelligence and counterterrorism professionals based around the world monitors various sources of information, both primary and secondary source, for the latest developments. This information is then directly entered into the dissemination system when warranted and ultimately appears on your cell phone or pager within minutes.
Key facts:
- Messages are limited to around 200 characters.
- Service operates 24/7
- Works with cell phones and standard email addresses
- Messages only sent for significant developments.
- Alerts are sent out by intelligence/counterterrorism professionals.
- Service currently in use by intelligence, military, law enforcement, and first responder communities
