alerte montante

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Environnement et écologie emergency plans
From my risk assessment document; this section is concerned with drawing up and using emergency plans:

➤Alerte initiale
La transmission de l’alerte de l’industriel vers les autorités et les services de secours (alerte montante), révèle assez souvent des difficultés relatives au respect de la mise en oeuvre du schéma d’alerte (complexité, identification du bon interlocuteur en préfecture,respect de la confirmation de l’alerte, qualité des informations fournies à la préfecture…).

Not sure what's meant by "alerte montante" here.

I've just noticed that it also refers to "alerte descendante" further down the page:

Alerte générale
Le recours à l’automate d’appel permet de donner, comme c’est le cas pour les autres types de risques, une réponse efficiente à la diffusion de l’alerte vers les
élus et les services extérieurs de l’Etat (alerte descendante).

I can't see the difference though. In both cases information about an incident is being passed on to the authorities....

Can anyone throw any light on this?

Many thanks!

Note from asker:
I've already used "escalating" for "montée en puissance" de la réponse and this is just the initial alert message. presumably the next phase might be to escalate the situation?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Bourth (X) : "Escalating " sounds like going from "orange" to "red alert", say.
3 minutes
This is typical lingo.

rising alert level

Hello,

I don't know what else it would be.

alerte descendante = falling alert level

I hope this helps.
