When disaster strikes terrestrial FM will be there

Terrestrial radio stations have robust emergency infrastructure such as backup towers, transmitters & power generators to make sure the signal is "always on" the air.

In 2012 the StayAlert team collaborated to create an Alerting system to serve the deaf & hard of hearing in 26 Gulf State radio markets.

StayAlert features state of the art FM Alert technology & is inspired by the 2012 DHS - FEMA - NPR Labs project to serve the hard of hearing and deaf community.

This national project demonstrated an emergency alerting system for the deaf and hard-of-hearing population in the U.S. using broadcast radio as the transmission medium.
