Cellular
telephone providers and the FCC are cooperating to send wireless
emergency alerts (WEA) to your cell phone when warnings have been issued
by the National Weather Service (NWS).
You may get a message on your mobile device screen alerting you to hazardous weather. There may be an audio alert as well.
When you receive one of these weather alerts pay attention. Check local
TV or radio or a good weather app for current weather information.
Emergency alerts sent to mobile devices will include tornadoes, extreme wind, flash floods and dust storms.
These
alerts are sent via cell towers within or touching the severe
weather polygon as defined by the NWS. They may not be exactly accurate
but provide severe weather warnings to those carrying cell phones with
better focus than ever before.
The
four big cell provider networks (AT&T, Sprint-Nextel, Verizon and
T-Mobile) have signed on for the program. If you have another carrier
you may need to check with them for availability.
