Awesome Red Alerts: A Curated List of Pikud HaOref Open Source Projects

The Project

https://github.com/danielrosehill/Awesome-Red-Alerts

Awesome Red Alerts is a curated list of open-source and community projects that expand the alerting surface of Israel's Home Front Command (Pikud HaOref) Red Alerts. There is no official public API for these alerts, so a vibrant ecosystem of unofficial wrappers, dashboards, bots, and hardware projects has emerged. This repository catalogues all of them in one place. An important caveat: never rely on community projects as your primary alerting mechanism. The official alerts from Pikud HaOref are the only reliable source.

Official Resources and Third-Party Services

• Home Front Command Website -- Official website with alert guidelines, shelter information, and safety instructions

• Pikud HaOref Telegram -- Official Telegram channel broadcasting all alerts in real time

• Tzofar (Tzeva Adom) -- Popular third-party alert service with apps on Android, iOS, Chrome extension, and WhatsApp channel

• Oref Map -- Live geographic alert map with real-time visualization

• RocketAlert.live -- Live rocket alert tracker with map and history

Geo-Dashboards and API Wrappers

Several projects provide interactive map-based dashboards for visualizing alert data geographically:
