Iranians Build Crowdsourced Missile Alert System Amidst Blackout
Mahsa Alert, a volunteer-run website and app, provides Iranians with crucial missile warning information as the country's conflict with the US and Israel continues.
In the midst of Iran's ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel, a group of volunteers have stepped in to fill a critical void left by the government's lack of a national missile alert system. The Mahsa Alert platform, a crowdsourced website and mobile app, is providing citizens with crucial real-time information about potential missile threats, despite the country's internet blackout.
Iran's volatile geopolitical situation and the absence of an official early warning system have left its population vulnerable. With tensions escalating, the need for reliable safety information has become paramount. That's where Mahsa Alert comes in, leveraging the power of citizen reporting to create a comprehensive missile warning map.
