DESAlert is an algorithm that receives automated notices of GRB activity, collates useful information from archival Dark Energy Survey data, and promulgates relevant data products back to the community, all in near-real-time. Of particular importance are the opportunities that DES data provide for relative photometry of GRBs or their afterglows, as well as for identifying key characteristics (e.g. photometric redshifts) of potential GRB host galaxies.
