Public Alerts are notifications issued by government agencies to inform the public about emergencies or significant events that may affect their safety. These alerts can cover a range of situations, including severe weather, natural disasters, or public health threats. They aim to provide timely information to help individuals make informed decisions. Alerts can be disseminated through various channels, such as text messages, social media, and local news broadcasts. Systems like the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are commonly used to reach a wide audience quickly. Staying informed through these alerts is crucial for personal safety and preparedness.
