Emergency message, used since 2011.

The El Kadsre Emergency Public Alert System is a system used in El Kadsre and it's territories, whereby local or municipal authorities can warn the public about impending or current emergencies affecting their area.

The EKEPWS can be activated by local police, fire, and environmental agencies; by the El Kadsreian Weather Bureau; and by other authorities, as required. It can be activated for any of the following reasons:

  • Severe weather
  • Flood
  • Wildfire
  • Hazardous material release
  • Terrorist threat
  • Water contamination
  • AMBER Alert
  • Other threats to life, property and safety.

The EKEPWS uses the Standard Emergency Warning Signal, much like Australia.

History[]

The EKEPWS was launched in 1992 and was initially operated using a system of telephones wired to emergency override system devices. In 2001, the technology was switched to custom, purpose-built, Windows NT/2000 PCs employing custom-designed graphics/sound expansion cards and remote signal intrusion circuits, which was then replaced in 2011 by American-developed equipment that also works with the American Emergency Alert System and Canadian Alert Ready systems.
