Wireless Emergency Alerts

A Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) is a short emergency message from authorized federal, state, local, tribal and territorial public alerting authorities that can be broadcast from cell towers to any WEA‐enabled mobile device in a locally targeted area. Wireless providers primarily use cell broadcast technology for WEA message delivery.

The WEA system is a partnership among the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and wireless providers to enhance public safety. WEAs can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm’s way, without the need to download an app or subscribe to a service.

WEAs are messages that warn the public of an impending natural or human-made disaster. The messages are short and can provide immediate, life-saving information. Check your mobile phones for correct settings to receive alerts. For iPhone users, go to settings, notifications, scroll to bottom for “Government Alerts” and make your selection. For Android users, open settings, tap notifications, wireless emergency alerts, and make your selections.

Learn more about WEAs.
