The Baksan Neutrino Observatory setups are currently performing search for neutrino and ultra-high-energy gamma-ray counterparts of the events on the Gamma-ray Coordinates Network. The Gamma-ray Coordinates Network is a system for distributing alerts from gamma-ray bursts, transients. Muon neutrinos and antineutrinos with energies above 1 GeV are registered with the Baksan Underground Scintillation Telescope. Ultra-high-energy gamma rays are registered with the ‘‘Carpet-2’’ setup. Registration of events and analysis of alerts occurs in near-real time. Alerts from Swift BAT, Fermi-GBM, Fermi-LAT, INTEGRAL, IceCube, HAWC are used. This work presents the description of the alert processing program and preliminary results.
