The capabilities of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) to extract neutrino energy and flavour are important tools in providing constraints on supernova models. Another aspect is that the neutrinos precede the visible eruption of the mantle of the star by up to 10 hours. This potentially allows for an early alert to the astronomical community and thus for observation from the earliest moment. In order to ensure a positive alert, several neutrino detectors have formed the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS). A data analysis program to identify neutrinos from a Galactic supernova burst has been installed in the online system at SNO. The program automatically analyzes burst data and it is anticipated that an alert to SNEWS could be issued within minutes. This presentation outlines the potential of SNO for supernova physics and the techniques of the monitoring system in place to maximize the scientific opportunity and to provide a reliable and timely alert to the astronomical community through SNEWS.
