NWS: Wireless Emergency Alerts on Your Mobile Device

The wireless industry, The FCC, and FEMA will roll-out the WEA’s (Wireless Emergency Alerts) system nationwide this year.

The NWS will start utilizing this by pushing extreme weather warnings over the system in June 2012.

Tornado warnings, flash flood warnings and several other high-end warnings will go direct to wireless users in an affected county automatically if their device is compatible.
