    WASHINGTON,D.C.-- The Department of Homeland Security's Federal
    Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today announced the adoption of a
    new digital message format for the Integrated Public Alert and
    Warning System (IPAWS), the nation's next generation emergency alert
    and warning network. The goal of IPAWS is to expand upon the
    traditional Emergency Alert System by allowing emergency management
    officials to reach as many people as possible over as many
    communications devices as possible, such as radio, television,
    mobile phones, personal computers and other communications devices.
    The current Emergency Alert System relies largely on radio and
    television to communicate to people.
