CMAS is a service bureau based system that allows a notifying agency the ability to alert the public in the event of a natural disaster, terrorism act, child abduction or any other circumstance for which the general public needs immediate critical notification. The program alerts the public within a matter of minutes of the authorized agency or entities’ interaction with the CMAS system. The general public need not subscribe to the system nor divulge any of their personal identifying information.

There are 277 million cellular subscribers in the United States and that number is increasing every day. That's one phone for every 1.1 people or 90% of the populous. The cell phone holds a unique position for the world population.  It has transitioned from a luxury item to a necessity.  Moreover, it is the communications device that nearly everyone has at the ready at all times.  We may not have our radio or television turned on but our cell phone is generally available at all times. The unique treatment of this personal communications device dictates that the CELL PHONE is the most effective way to notify the general public.
