RE: [californiadisasters] Emergency Alerts



Not that you all probably don't already get enough tweets, but I should tag that with, if you subscribe to my twitter.com/bensweather you will get all the NOAA/NWS Special weather statements automatically with flash flood watches/warnings, winter weather statements and impacting the SBD Mtns area ONLY, as well as my personalized tweets in hazardous times, but I do limit it, as I know how annoying they can all be, only essential information goes out when needed!

You can receive important lifesaving alerts no matter where you are - at home, at school, or at work.

Public safety officials use reliable systems to alert you and your family in the event of natural or man-made disasters. Many communities also offer emergency alert notifications through their own systems. Check with your state or local government to learn what is available in your area.

·         Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)

·         Emergency Alert System (EAS)

·         NOAA Weather Radio

·         Multimedia

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) send free informational text messages to WEA-enabled cell phones within range of an imminent and dangerous local situation, severe weather event, or AMBER emergency.

  • The WEA notification is designed to get your attention and notify you with a unique sound and vibration. When you receive an alert, take action and check local broadcasts for more information.
  • Public safety officials use WEA to send you essential information whenever you are near the location of a life-threatening event.
  • You do not need to register to receive WEA notifications. You will automatically receive alerts if you have WEA-capable phone and your wireless carrier participates in the program.
  • To find out if your mobile device is capable of receiving WEA alerts, contact your mobile device carrier or visit CTIA The Wireless Association.
  • If you choose not to receive WEA messages, you can adjust the alert settings on your mobile device. You can opt-out of receiving imminent hazard and AMBER alerts, but you cannot opt-out of Presidential alerts.

For more information about Wireless Emergency Alerts, download the WEA Fact Sheet or view Frequently Asked Questions.
