What is Broadcast Emergency?

Broadcast Emergency is a lightweight Windows tool designed for system administrators and teams who need to send quick alert messages across a local network.

It works by monitoring a plain text file—either locally or on a shared network path (UNC). When a message is written in that file, all computers running the agent will instantly display an on-screen alert window. The software is designed to be simple, effective, and customizable.

Key Features:

  • Customize window size, colors, fonts, and button behavior.
  • Supports any network-shared text file (ideal for LAN environments).
  • Optional delay before dismissing alerts.
  • Config file is re-read on every cycle, allowing live adjustments.
  • No installer needed — just unpack and run. (self extracting exe)

Typical use cases include:

  • IT maintenance or system-wide announcements
  • Internal emergency drills or safety alerts
  • Alerting users during infrastructure incidents
  • Creative uses like calling your kids for dinner 😄
