CMAS

CMAS, or the Commercial Mobile Alert System, is a nationwide alert system that sends emergency messages to mobile devices, such as cell phones, during urgent situations like weather hazards, natural disasters, or national emergencies. It allows authorities to quickly notify the public about threats or critical information, ensuring timely awareness and safety. CMAS messages are short, targeted, and can be received even if the phone is in do-not-disturb mode, helping to keep everyone informed during emergencies.
