NFSI IS DEVELOPING AlertNet™ Canada's First Advanced Warning System for Gun Violence.

AlertNet™ Reacts the moment violence threatens a neighborhood, church, school, or public space, sending real-time warnings directly to your phone, giving families, students, and communities the essential time to reach safety, shelter in place, to make it home again.

About Us

Because knowing sooner can change everything. Every tragedy has a moment before it becomes irreversible. A person turns down a hallway. A parent drives toward a danger zone. A student walks into the wrong place at the wrong time. A family waits for a call that may never come. Too often, people are not lost because they made the wrong choice. They are lost because they were never given the chance to make one. Across North America, violence has reached a point where seconds matter. In the United States alone, more than 20,000 people were victims of homicide in 2024, and more than 44,000 people died from firearms overall. These numbers are not just statistics. They are sons, daughters, parents, friends, teachers, workers, and bystanders whose lives changed instantly. AlertNet was created for the critical seconds before impact. AlertNet is an advanced app-based warning system designed to notify people when a confirmed weapon threat is reported in their area. Its purpose is simple: give people the time they would otherwise never have.

Time to stop. Time to shelter. Time to leave. Time to warn someone they love. Time to survive.

AlertNet is not about panic. It is about awareness. It is not about fear. It is about giving people information when information matters most. When a confirmed weapon threat is active nearby, AlertNet helps deliver urgent, location-relevant warnings so users can make faster, safer decisions. In a crisis, even thirty seconds can change the outcome. Thirty seconds can mean a locked door, a different route, a shelter decision, or one final message that says: “I’m safe.”

This is AlertNet™

NFSI AlertNet™ Will be a free mobile app, currently in development, that instantly warns individuals and communities of nearby active weapons incidents, acting as a real-time early-warning network for weapon related threats. Developed by the NFSI (National Firearm Safety Initiatve) . NFSI AlertNet links directly via API with local, provincial, and National law-enforcement agencies, to broadcast verified weapon incident advisories specific to individuals that may be in the direct path of immediate danger throughout Canada.

As NFSI AlertNet will integrate with local and national law-enforcement partners, allowing police agencies to issue active or static gun-related advisories such as stolen-firearm bulletins, active threat warnings, missing weapons, or area-specific safety notifications. This transforms AlertNet into a unified, trusted information hub where verified public-safety data flows from both the community and law-enforcement sources in real time.

To accelerate public adoption, strengthen community readiness, and support law-enforcement integration, the first 25,000 free downloads of NFSI AlertNet will be reserved exclusively for individuals and organizations that have pre-registered through our official form.

More details on enrollment, rollout timelines, and eligibility will be announced soon.
