What Is This Program?

The Next Generation Warning System Program (NGWSP) is funded under the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS), and enables the public broadcasting system to adopt emerging digital broadcast technology and standards to improve and expand the distribution of public alerts and warnings to people and ensure resilience. In addition, public broadcasting entities enhance their capacity to receive, broadcast, and redistribute emergency alerts in Common Alerting Protocol format retrieved from the IPAWS. The NGWSP fills gaps in delivery of emergency messages to underserved communities and ensure the public has access to critical information regarding threats to public safety. The NGWSP enables public stations to deliver and distribute emergency alerts from public safety officials to people and appliances with accessible media and content including user selectable languages, pictures, evacuation routes, in accessible message formats.
