Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for displaying alerts in a web browser. An alert repeater is configured to receive an alert from an alert provider. A geographical determiner is configured to determine an effective geographical area for the alert. The alert repeater sends the alert over a browser update communication channel to an alert receiver in a web browser within effective geographical area. The alert receiver then displays the alert in the web browser.
