1) What is Automatic Lightning Risk Alert System (ALRAS) ?

Automatic Lightning Risk Alert System (ALRAS) was developed using the SMS and microprocessor technologies to assist the Operation Manager of MOE schools or any organisations.

It provides pre-warnings of possible thunder storms based on SMS messages from NEA .

The SMS alert message is received  by the ALRAS's GSM modem and deciphered by the microprocessor algorithm.
The ALRAS will perform the following actions based on the message received :
- Turn on the Strobe Light and Siren for a pre-determined period set by the SMS message.
- Extend the alert period for a pre-determined period set by the SMS message.
- Turn off the Strobe Light and Siren

If in any time you wish to control the alert period, you may do so with the manual control that is incorprated in the ALRAS.
In additional, the ALRAS can forwards the alert SMS message to another 5 (max) mobile users. All this actions is done automically without the user intervention.
