Emergency Alert System
The Emergency Alert System provides varying levels of alerts and warnings. Check here for updates.

Each state develops its own plan to coordinate EAS activity among broadcasters, state government, and public safety organizations. EAS is managed by a State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC).
