VA Alert! vs NewsLight

VA Alert! is a smart notification service that enables users to receive critical event and general day-to-day communications from participating municipalities, regional governments and organizations. The VA Alert! communications are customized for each user’s followed locations (e.g. "Home", "Work", "Kid's School", "Mobile Phone"). Users can be provided with notifications containing greater situational context, such as direction and distance to a critical event based on their location as well as enriched media such as images, PDFs and hyperlinks to more information. VA Alert! provides concise information when you require it and ensures you are not saturated with notifications that are not relevant to you. Stay Alert. Stay Connected.
