Despite what the SEXP description says, red-alert has been tested with a simple branching campaign and it appears that you can branch off of a red-alert mission.
Regardless, red-alert missions often cause errors in retail and SCP FreeSpace, so avoid them if it all possible. This can be done using campaign-persistent variables to "remember" the status of various craft just before the player departs.
If you want to make a red-alert occur as the player jumps out, create an event that waits for the player to hit ALT+J. Chain to it an event that causes the red-alert to occur 3-4 seconds after the keypress and when the ship has reached jumpout velocity (40 m/s).
