On October 1st, residents of the municipality of Léglise may receive a message from their commune via the number 1789. This is part of a large-scale test of BE-Alert, a warning system that will send an SMS to all phones present in the municipal territory, based on location.
This test will allow the commune to practice its internal alert procedures and raise citizen awareness about the importance of immediate information during emergencies. For those not yet registered, it's an excellent opportunity to sign up by visiting the website www.be-alert.be.
BE-Alert enables authorities, including the minister, governor, or mayor, to alert the population during emergencies and communicate general interest information. The commune regularly uses this service to inform residents about emergencies or events that could impact their daily lives.
In case of an emergency in your area, you will be notified for free via SMS, email, or voice message, with instructions for your safety and that of your loved ones. Even without registration, you might receive an alert if you are within the commune during an emergency, based on your location.
The commune can also use BE-Alert to disseminate general interest information, such as roadworks or water network interventions, that could disrupt local life. Registration for these messages is optional and can be selected during the main service registration.
To register, simply fill out the form on www.be-alert.be, where you can enter up to five addresses. It is important to activate your account via the confirmation email.
