Background#R##N#Recent national developments in alert systems are the main motivation of this work. The aim is to provide an account on the development and first tests of a new Meteorological Alert System—MAS for mobile devices to deliver alert signals. The fundamentals encompass a summary description of the Brazilian government towards the installation and maintenance of a national wide climate sensor network where the new Meteorological Alert System can be integrated. The main challenges in installing and maintaining such a network in face of its continental scope are presented.
