Receiving Emergency Alerts
Messages
Emergency Alerts service allows you to receive automatic alerts in
times of crisis (e.g., earthquake, hurricanes, etc.). Wireless
Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as CMAS, is a part of a
national alerting system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System) that enables emergency management officials to
rapidly disseminate the warnings and safety information via text
alerts to wireless phones based on the phones’ geographic location,
The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA is
responsible for receiving the alerting information and forwarding
the alerts to participating wireless carriers. Such alerts may come
from the President of the United States; the National Weather
Service, state or county public safety officials. This system is
integrated into the same national alerting services that serve
television and radio today. For more information regarding
WEA/CMAS please go to: FEMA website.
