About The Service                                          Online Request Form

Terralert is deploying the National Missing Children Alert Service. From Terralert’s fully comprehensive alert services, The National Alert Portal, the delivery of missing children alerts will be provided free for all users, Law Enforcement and the Public. The purpose is to provide immediate notifications of missing children to schools, hospitals, businesses and residents. Because of Terralert's unique network architecture, participants are guaranteed not to receive unwanted messages or spam.

It is Terralert’s goal to assist law enforcement in the distribution by providing this information to a wider audience. The Terralert solution links any personal computer, cell phone or handheld to the National Missing Children Alert Service Network. The public will be sent alert fliers for those missing in their area within minutes of the abduction from Law Enforcement agencies only.

Terralert has completed the integration of computer systems used by law enforcement for creation of the missing children fliers. Integration has also been completed with service providers such as Microsoft's Passport, Hotmail and MSN instant messaging users for delivery to the public. A web interface for law enforcement agencies that have Internet connected computer systems will be available 28 Feb 2003. Activation of law enforcement agencies is easy and explained further.
