Emergency Alert System

The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national public warning system in the United States that allows government authorities to deliver important emergency information quickly to the public through radio, television, and other communication channels. It is used to warn about situations like severe weather, natural disasters, national security threats, or other emergencies. When activated, it interrupts regular broadcasts with a message aimed at keeping people informed and safe. The system ensures timely and coordinated dissemination of critical information to help protect communities during emergencies.
