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
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: FEMA website.
