The National Instant Alert System is a Japanese system that instantly transmits emergency information to residents using satellites, municipal disaster prevention radios, and smart devices. It is commonly referred to as J-ALERT.

Overview
J-ALERT is a regional satellite communication network that uses a communication satellite to provide information necessary to ensure safety of Japanese citizens in the event of a large-scale disaster such as a tsunami, attack situation, or a national crisis. The system instantly transmits to local organizations, and automatically activates broadcast-type municipal disaster prevention radio and smartphones. It then transmits emergency information to residents by way of sirens and broadcasting.

J-ALERT is designed to support Japan's National Protection System. In particular, in case of a ballistic missile or an invasion by a foreign military occurs, the situation will be competing for the moment, so a warning will be given to the residents by sounding a "national protection siren". It is based around the idea that it should be communicated quickly so that as many residents as possible can be informed and evacuate or seek shelter.
