The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designed the Emergency Alert System (EAS) so officials could quickly send important emergency notifications to affected counties across the country. This FCC EAS is digital-based and automated, using coding protocols similar to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio Specific-Area Message Encoding (SAME) technology. Under national EAS guidelines, each state and localities within have formed Emergency Communications Committees to serve as liaisons to the FCC, ensuring continuous improvement in the system and ensuring national implementation of the system, so it’s useful.

The Automatic All-Hazards Warning System, which comes standard with every ITS6000 System, automatically rebroadcasts FCC EAS/weather targeted national alerts. It includes an FCC-approved EAS/weather radio receiver with antenna, mount and SAME programming. Within the ITS6000 Automatic All-Hazards Warning System, targeted national alerts automatically interrupt regular programming.
