Hove to test BE-Alert emergency notification system

The municipality of Hove is conducting a test of the BE-Alert system on October 1, 2026. This emergency notification system is designed to inform residents via SMS, email, or telephone during crises such as fires, floods, or power outages.

Registered users may receive a message stating: ‘BE-Alert gemeente Hove - Dit is een alarmeringstest, geen reactie vereist.’ The test aims to practice internal alerting procedures and increase public awareness regarding emergency communications. Residents can register or update their contact information, including multiple addresses such as workplaces, at the official BE-Alert website.
