Important Notice
Some email domains and some mobile phone companies do not allow GDACS messages for various reasons. Currently, we know of the following:

Email to .us and .mil domains: due to settings on those domains no email sent by GDACS can currently reach users with an email address ending with .md.us or .mil. Please test your email address using the button below. Use an alternative email if required.
TELKOMSEL users in Indonesia can't receive SMS messages from GDACS because they are filtered as spam; in the US, subscribers of CDMA networks (such as Verizon) might not receive SMS messages due to incompatibility between GSM and CDMA networks.

Conditions for use
	I understand that the alerts provided by GDACS are calculated by a computer without human intervention and that errors are possible. I understand that I cannot use this information for decision making without alternate sources of information to confirm or disprove the GDACS alerts.
