## Trigger-Initiated Notice Types

When a GBM trigger occurs, the spacecraft issues an Alert notice withing seconds and a few seconds later a Flight Position notice with an initial Classification and Localization. More Flight Position or other type notices follow, each one improving the localization or classification of the previous one. Typically one Final Position notice will come at the end although more are possible with a human input. See the following table for more details:

| Notice Type | Numeric Type | Origin | Localization | Classification | Count | Delay |
| :-------------- | :------------: | :-------------: | :------------: | :------------: | :---: | :---------- |
| Alert | 110 | Flight | No | No | 1 | Seconds |
| Flight Position | 111 | Flight | Yes | Yes | 1+ | 1-2 Minutes |
