New WEAS system.

PowerWCRulez · 06-28-2012, 11:07 PM

Wireless Emergency Alert System coming soon for weather alert, amber alert, Homeland Security Alert and etc on the smartphone cellphones. When the alert is issued they send a "ping" signal comes from the cellphone tower and being receiving the WEAS message by tones or vibrate.

When you are carry the smartphone cellphone in your pocket or bag, the message would get a WEAS nearest the cellphone tower while you are away from home, for vacation trip from Minneapolis to Chicago, the chicago is alert for tornado warnings in Chicago area, that mean a chicago cellphone towers send the ping to get a WEAS message on the smartphone cellphone display.

Yes, your carrier will send alert messages onto your smartphone and pop up messages with tone and vibrate. No charge to pay addition.

They don't have a "Fire Alert" except the Hazard Alert as Hazmat/Bioweapons.

Australia have wireless emergency alerts including bushfire, cyclone, tsunami, flood, storm, earthquake and hazardous material spills.

Bushfire warning is not including on WEA (USA). Why?
