  • Publication number: 20200252780
    Abstract: An alert system and method can validate an operator that is sending a targeted alert message. A notification server can receive an emergency message from a client device. The emergency message can include a primary emergency alert and a specification of a geographic area of concern. The notification server can be configured to determine whether the emergency message is valid. A transmission system can be configured to, upon validation of the emergency message, transmit the emergency message to an alert-enabled device. The alert-enabled device can be configured to receive the emergency message, to determine if the alert-enabled device is within the geographic area of concern, and to present the emergency message to a user if and only if the alert-enabled device is located within the geographic area of concern.
