Warned or aroused to danger (7)

I believe the answer is:

alerted

(Other definitions for alerted that I've seen before include "Given warning" , "Put on guard, raised the alarm" , "Warned, made aware" , "Given signal" , "Altered, having been put on guard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
