Emergency Alert

In collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (“IPAWS”), CPB will be administering the Next Generation Warning System (“NGWS”) Grant to extend the reach and quality of IPAWS alerts throughout the United States. CPB will issue subgrants to public television and radio stations for the purchase, installation of, and training on equipment that will allow IPAWS alerts to be distributed over public radio and television broadcasts, as well as support projects that result in the adoption of the Common Alerting Protocol standard (“CAP”) which permits a single CAP compatible message to activate multiple compliant warning systems.
