Through this article, we would like to propose the method of urgent information notification or an early warning about the dangers that occur in the college environment by utilizing smartphone devices. Early warning notification media currently still has many shortcomings, a little passive, not directly to the parties who need the information. The media we mean is like a notice board or website portal owned by a college. In other words, the given early warning information may be targeted or otherwise. Therefore, here we try to provide a solution to this problem, which is by utilizing smartphone device to convey information of early warning that is happening or will occur in a campus environment. This information notification system or the early warning system is called e-Announcement. 1. Introduction Currently, notification of urgent information such as hazard warnings in a college is still using traditional media such as bulletin boards or through website portals. If we want more advanced again, the college can take advantage of information technology in the form of social media in conveying academic information. However, both traditional media and the use of social media-based technology still have limitations, i.e. less effective in find target of information delivery. If an urgent information announcement such as a hazard warning in a college is posted on a bulletin board, then anyone can see it, either in need or not. If the academic notices are posted on the website or social media page, anyone can visit it, can see but not necessarily need that urgent information. With our e-Announcement, it is hoped that urgent information such as hazard warning in a college can achieve the target accurately and quickly. Perhaps the question arises how the urgent information from a college can be targeted and done in a short time? The answer, e-Announcement that we propose requires the student to register first. After registering, user data will be stored in the database. So when the mobile platform passes the urgent information notification from the back-end app, the first thing to do is check the student ID that has been registered in the database. Related research that utilizes a smartphone device to solve various problems in life has been done by some researchers [1]-[6]. One example is the use of smartphones to provide notification of departure and arrival of the bus to a station [7]. Another example is the notification of the closest route or route to a safe place from the disaster centre [8]. So it is expected to minimize the number of victims and damage that occurred. There are also researchers who focus on notification system performance in providing services to users [9]. The notification system can also be used to notify whether there is a Wi-Fi network or internet hotspot somewhere [10]. And still many other studies, related to the use of
