Floods are natural phenomena that are often devastating bringing great damage to man and nature. Flee the human capacity, to prevent such phenomena occur. However, it is possible to develop preventive measures to minimize these impacts. Basically there are two types of preventive measures: structural (dams, dikes, river enlargements, reforestation, etc.) and non-structural areas of zoning-based vulnerability and monitoring and warning systems. Monitoring and warning systems are essential to minimize the human and material damage, particularly in urban areas, as they allow the community to be informed (warned) in advance of an extreme event with danger of causing a natural disaster. Thus, the monitoring and warning system enables decisions to be made before the event occurs. In this sense, was created in 1984 through the project Crisis, the monitoring system and alert the Itajai Valley since then operated by Alert System Operation Center of the Regional University of Blumenau (CEOPS / FURB). The monitoring system of Vale held every time the collection and shipment of hydrometeorological data in seventeen points of the basin, allowing perform the hydrometeorological monitoring activities in real-time in bowl. In addition to the telemetric network, make up this system, hydrological forecasting models, calibrated to various parts of the basin, these models help in the decision making process for a flood event. The transfer of information generated in an early warning system are of fundamental importance both to the defense organization, and the community in general. Observing this need, it is proposed to develop a tool alerts so that the information can be transferred in less time possible clearly. If a community is in flood risk areas, the system will facilitate the realization of a register of interested via mobile devices or through a Web service. Initially, this system will be based on devices with Android operating system from Google. This is currently the most popular platform for mobile devices around the world. The objective of this paper is to present a software tool for mobile device applied to the warning system aiming to disseminate real-time information generated by CEOPS thus enabling information and flood warnings to people quickly and easily through text messages. In order to inform people there will be automated routines running every hour so that people can be informed in real time. This information will be available through a Web Service that returns the data from the CEOPS servers.
