What are Wireless Emergency Alerts/CMAS?

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 as Sprint. 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
