MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -
The Federal government is teaming up with wireless phone
services to send text messages during severe weather.
A new program starts Monday to notify people of dangerous
weather and other emergencies. The Wireless Agency Alerts service is free and
consumers don't have to sign up. Wireless users will receive a text on their
phone if there is an emergency such as a tornado, flood, hurricane, blizzard or
other disaster.
The program is known as IPAWS or Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System. This is the first national service by the federal government
and wireless services.
The severe weather alerts will be location based.
