Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS) Project

Project Overview: The Science and Technology Directorate Command, Control and Interoperability Division (CID) supports the Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS) in the advancement of interoperability and state-of-the-art technologies for alerts and warnings through standards development and adoption, conformity assessment, industry capability analysis, and technology evaluation. The result of these efforts will enable local, tribal, and state practitioners to provide reliable and accurate alerts and warnings to a wider public. As a result, there will be a significant reduction in the loss of life and property from all hazards. This project is part of the Office for Interoperability and Compatibility within CID.
