What is IPAWS?
Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS)
The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) is FEMA’s national system that serves as a tool used by Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial public safety agencies. It can be used to notify the public of vital emergency, safety, and disaster information.
The IPAWS texting code that TextMyGov utilizes is called Local Area Emergency (LAE). Local authorities in the United States issue this secure and significant advisory code through the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The purpose of the advisory is to notify and instruct the public in case of a significant threat to public safety and/or property alone or the escalation of such serious events. Some examples include electric or natural gas service issues, water disruptions, road closures due to excessive snowfall, and potential terrorist threats. AMBER Alerts are omitted.
