The most recent and significant project undertaken by Ovis is that of The StateAlert public emergency warning system. Statealert is a public emergency communication system designed to increase community resilience to withstand the effects of natural and human-induced hazards of all types. Statealert has been in operation for a number years on a trial basis and is due to be officially launched to the public for the coming 2009-10 fire season.

In times of emergency:

• StateAlert prevents and reduces community impact of emergency events through efficient and effective public communication.

• StateAlert builds community resilience through increased public awareness of risks, appropriate responses, and ongoing programs, and;
• StateAlert stops false alarms by providing positive confirmation of non-emergency status.

StateAlert enables multiple collaborating Hazard Management Agencies to coordinate their public communications.

A web-based user interface enables remote access for responders. Fine-grained, secure user access enables support for existing business requirements and procedures.
