Stay Ahead of Emergencies with Instant Text Alerts Residents Trust

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. Alerts can be sent out to specific geographic areas. This type of notification tool will actively notify those who enter the designated area until the alert expires.

The IPAWS texting code that TextMyGov utilizes is called Local Area Emergency (LAE). Local authorities in the United States issue this secure 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.

We know your job isn’t just about logistics. It’s about lives, trust, and public confidence. With IPAWS integration, we empower you to send TextMyGov routine texts and federally-certified emergency alerts from one platform.

Reach Everyone with TextMyGov + IPAWS

One dashboard. One number. Every citizen covered, routine or crisis.

Citizen sign-up is not required.

Targeting specific local areas.

Tailored to language and functional accessibility.

Without IPAWS, your messages might not reach everyone, putting lives at risk and undermining trust in your agency’s emergency response.

TextMyGov's IPAWS integration helps government agencies to ensure timely and accurate emergency information reaches the public during disasters and other critical situations across via text message.

Aside from providing emergency alerts through our IPAWS integration, TextMyGov also provides additional avenues of communication, like sending general notifications and assisting citizens in accessing important information or reporting issues.

With a user-friendly interface, TextMyGov allows users to track and manage inbound and outbound text messages, enhancing communication between government agencies and citizens.

Each agency is assigned a dedicated Client Relations Specialist to aid in the training, setup, and integration of our easy-to-use communication tool. They will demonstrate how TextMyGov can streamline communication, minimize phone calls, and relay significant information to citizens. The designated agency representative is required to obtain the IPAWS certification.

TextMyGov + IPAWS gives agencies a unified platform to help citizens feel safe and stay informed.
