Public Warning
Public Warning :
"Timely and effective public warnings can save lives, reduce property losses and speed economic recovery. Public warning empowers citizens by providing them with the information they need during times of emergency to make informed decisions. The objective of a public warning system is to capture the attention of people at risk, to provide them with relevant and accurate information regarding the nature of the threat and to provide such information in time for protective actions to be taken. A truly effective public warning capability will reach those at risk regardless of their location, the time of day or night or any disabilities or special needs". (Partnership for Public Warning, Protecting America's Communities, 2004, p. 3)
