Web Alert Applications
Flu Bulletin recommends that you download a free desktop application to keep up on changing news and alerts. You can find many of these free applications on you local government home page in your city. Some TV stations also offer versions of this program, below we have sample pictures of the desktop alerts available in our location.
Below is one website that you can download a desktop version, we still believe that you will get more information out of a local application, if your city does offer a desktop application you can try this link.
Desktop Alert Application is a FREE small, simple application which you can download and install on your Windows-based personal computer. Once installed and connected to the Internet, you will receive current temperature and severe weather warnings directly on your computer screen, as well as other features such as local and national weather.
This PC based emergency alert system will improve public notification of local, state and national emergency warnings. It will provide rapid notification of severe weather from the National Weather Service, state Amber Alerts for missing children and emergencies issued through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or local officials.
The application can either run fully open on your desktop or as a minimized application showing the current temperature in your system tray. The system will sit idle in a personal computer until an alert is issued. When an emergency is declared, it will sound a warning through the PC, followed by a pop-up screen explaining the type of emergency. The user can reduce the screen after receiving the alert, but updated information will scroll across the bottom of the screen.
