Feasible with Arduino: Detecting If Power Present, Then Use to Trigger an Alert

I am new to Arduino! Purchasing my first boards next month for some projects. I was wondering if the following project is possible.

In the woodshop at work we have a push button remote that turns a wireless outlet on and off. This outlet is used to turn a strobe light on outside the shop. It's purpose is to alert other workers that there may have been an accident in the shop.

With Arduino, could I detect when that is powered which will trigger it to send an alert to phones. I can figure out what program/service to use for the alert easy enough I think. I just want to know if an Arduino can be used to detect that power. The Arduino itself will be powered at all times so it can have a connection to internet (if that is possible?), but then have it detect that power coming on in some way.
