Abstract: A method and memory for a geocoded alert system are disclosed. The method includes the steps of obtaining an alert from an information database, determining an applicable geographic area of the alert, acquiring a geographic location from a communication device, geocoding the geographic location into a geocoded location, storing the geocoded location in a data store, retrieving the geocoded location from the data store when the alert is obtained, ascertaining whether the geocoded location matches the applicable geographic area of the alert, sending a message to the communication device of the user, and confirming a preference of the user to receive the alert.
