Integrated Public Alert & Warning System


Share on Social Media

The Integrated Public Alert and Warning Systems (IPAWS) was designed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Executive Order 13407[1] as a way to integrate and modernize the existing US population warning systems in order to save time during disaster response. The program was developed in response to criticism of the Federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina.

This link provides an overview of IPAWS, including an introductory video and links to training for alerting authorities and the public.
