Singaporeans can now get free SMS alerts on new dengue clusters in areas they frequent, such as neighborhoods and workplaces.
This initiative, started by the National Environment Agency (NEA) and new start-up Smart Communities, is the first-of-its kind in the world.
Users can simply sign up at a new website, www.x-Dengue.com - or download the free x-Dengue iPhone app.
Each website account can take up to eight different addresses. For each address, one can enter up to five mobile numbers to send the dengue alerts to.
Whenever any address falls within 150m of a dengue cluster, an SMS alert will be sent to the numbers registered.
Text messages will also be sent if the dengue cluster has more than 10 reported cases. After this, an alert will be sent for every increase of five cases. Finally, users will receive a message if the dengue cluster has dissolved.
