What is the Emergency Alert System?

• Local Emergency Management Contacts
During an emergency, it is important that you know who you can contact. Each local or regional government (city, county, etc.) has an emergency management team who are there to help you. Visit this website from the Michigan State Police to determine how to contact your local emergency management team.

• Emergency Alert System
The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was established in 1994 as a tool the President and others may use to warn the public about emergency situations. The EAS is composed of broadcast and cable television networks, radio (AM, FM, and Low-power FM), wireless systems such as broadband radio service and educational broadband service stations, and other entities and industries operating on an organized basis during emergencies at the national, state and local levels.
