CodeRED IPAWS
Strengthen your ability to protect your community with the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS)
Understanding IPAWS
IPAWS is the government’s national overarching alert system for federal, state, local, tribal and territorial officials to use to keep their communities informed and safe. Public safety officials can send alerts via multiple communication methods within a geographical area.
These warning systems include:
EAS
(Emergency Alert System)
Local broadcast methods (radio, tv)
WEA
(Wireless Emergency Alerts)
Mobile devices in the impacted area
NWEM
(Non-Weather Emergency Message)
NWS, NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR)
COG
(Collaborative Operation Groups)
Other government agencies with IPAWS
