The Emergency Alert System: A Technical Reference for Broadcast, Cable, and Emergency Management Teams

By Greg Phillips

Nearly every radio, television, cable and satellite household in the
United States can be reached within minutes by a system that almost
no one outside the industry understands and about which almost
nothing has been written.
This book closes that gap. It follows the Emergency Alert System from
CONELRAD's Cold War frequency-hopping, through the Emergency
Broadcast System, to today's hybrid of legacy broadcast relay and
internet-delivered CAP messaging then explains, in working detail,
how the whole of it actually operates.
