**How to create a Community Alert Channel**

Texas flash floods hit residents and campers in a deluge “nobody saw” coming. — CBS News Heavy Rains in Washington Area Flood Roads and Prompt Water Rescues — NY Times NOAA firings spark fears about long-term damage — The Hill Full List of Republicans Who Voted Against FEMA Funding Before Helene Hit — Newsweek Trump administration slashes NOAA staff, fulfilling Project 2025 goal — MSNBC

Floods and other natural disasters increase with global warming. Republicans slash funding for the National Weather Service, FEMA and public safety alert resources. How can communities create their own local alert systems? Use the FastAlert.Now service to alert people in the community of danger. Do this in minutes. For free.

How FastAlert.Now works

**FastAlert.Now is an online service from DemLabs that can be used freely for community alerts. It can be set up in minutes and works without requiring a phone number, texting, having to download an app nor any registration.**

  • People can sign up with one click, or just by scanning a QR Code.
  • This is helpful when people do not want to communicate securely.
  • Any form of communication that involves a phone number or mobile app is risky as your phone number gives away your location, movements and who you are in touch with.
  • Organizers can target their message by creating different channels for people to tune into. e.g. DC, Atlanta, Veterans in Atlanta etc.
  • Alerts are sent to phones and laptops (iOS, Mac, Windows, Android) and appear with a ‘Bing’ (sound)
  • Alerts can include a phone number or website address. This makes it easier for recipients to respond.
  • FastAlert makes it easy for people at a rally (say) to get alerts with one QR Code scan or one link, and then be prompted afterwards to take more actions
  • There is no additional costs to send messages (as with texting)
  • Setting up a channel takes about 10 minutes and that creates a URL for subscribers. Alerts can be sent out immediately after creating a channel.
