receivers and all of the partners in Public Emergency Warning including the
broadcasters, existing sirens, the Internet and satellite radio.
MOBILE PHONES
It a time of crisis EMAlert subscribers are notified immediately via text message on their
handsets. EMAlert provides, in some cases, a special ring-tone that identifies that it is
an Emergency Warning. With more current cell phones EMAlert will geographically
target exactly where the message is to be received.
R5 'SMART' RECEIVERS
The R5 is a fixed device placed in a home or business. Similar to a set back thermostat
it is always on and always ready. It receives EMAlert messages and displays them in
text with light and/or audible format aids for ADA compliance. In time of need, the R5
alarms just like a smoke detector and notifies you when there is an emergency. People
read the message and follow instruction to stay safe. In the case of an evacuation
order, the R5 can travel with you and update you on the crisis or when to return. It may
also advise as to which routes are the best to take. The R5 always knows where it is
and with its 3 month long life battery it is a constant companion and source of comfort
throughout any emergency.

R5 can be located in industrial settings and trigger strobe lights, sirens, bells or other
warning systems. The R5 can even send the right signals to private and amateur

possible communication means.
