Federal News Radio 1500 AM: FCC: Presidential emergency alerts to be tested
CMAS would allow three kinds of text messaging or wireless alert to be sent, said Fowlkes: •Presidential Alerts - "Which would be the same as what the president might issue or FEMA might issue through the EAS system, •Imminent Threat Alerts - Which Fowlkes said would warn when "there's a hurricane coming or a tornado coming," and then the •Child Abduction Emergency/AMBER Alerts - Alerts related to missing or endangered children due to an abduction or runaway situation. Fowlkes said the CMAS is slated to begin deployment in April 2012. |
