Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS)

Fort Bend County is an authorized alerting authority with IPAWS, the nationwide system for delivering emergency messages. Through IPAWS, you may receive:

• Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA): Short, location-based messages automatically sent to compatible cell phones. Examples include severe weather warnings, AMBERT alerts, or critical local emergencies.

These alerts do not require sign-up and are designed to ensure everyone can receive critical warnings when it matters most.
