Every year, approximately 7,000 Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are issued by federal, state and local governments, as well as tribes and territories. From weather alerts to AMBER Alerts, they all come through a single platform: The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).
