Dangers will be warned.

Netherlands is considered as the first country in the world to bring this modern system into service life.

The warning system allows authorities to send out alert messages when a problem occurs. At the same time, detailed information about the incident and how people should do in such situations. This will be the most effective way to limit the unfortunate damage to people and property in the event of incidents and catastrophes.

The "NL-Alert" alert system is the result of cooperation between the government, major Dutch network providers and global mobile manufacturers. According to J Fransman, a spokesman for the Department of Justice and Justice, this process was applied by phones equipped with mobile broadcasting (CB) systems in 2008.

The biggest advantage of using a CB system is that instead of sending normal text messages, it can send messages based on the specific location of the recipient. Therefore, the warning message can only be sent to those who are actually in danger. Another advantage is that the sending system is never overloaded.
