Ready.gov created a vital tool to use our phones to send us quick, life saving messages called WEAs (Wireless Emergency Alerts).
Wireless Emergency Alerts are automatic texts sent to you in an emergency. Alerts received at the right time can help keep you safe during an emergency. With WEA, warnings can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm’s way, without need to download an app or subscribe to a service.
About the WEAs:
There are several more resources Ready.gov offers to help you and your family get the most prepared in the case of an accident.
