Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA)

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are short, text-like messages sent by authorized government authorities to alert people about emergencies, such as severe weather, natural disasters, or local threats. These alerts are broadcast automatically to compatible cell phones in affected areas, providing immediate important information to help keep the public safe. WEAs do not require users to subscribe; they are based on your location, ensuring relevant alerts reach those who need them most. The messages are brief, typically up to 360 characters, and do not include ads or personal information.
