Handbook on Emergency Warning Broadcasting Systems (EWBS)
The Emergency Warning Broadcasting Systems use broadcasting networks to alert people and enable them to prepare for emergencies. The EWBS uses special warning or alert signals embedded in broadcasting signals to automatically switch on the receiver equipment (if so equipped) in the home, and issue an emergency bulletin, alerting people to an impending disaster such as a tsunami or an earthquake.
This monograph is the report of the Study Project on EWBS (T/EWBS) within the Transmission study topic area of the ABU Technical Committee. It looks into the implementation and operation of such systems in both the analogue and digital broadcasting platforms in TV and radio broadcasting systems.
The Technical Review is published four times a year. It is now attracting high level technical articles and paid advertisements. For the benefit of members, pdf copies of the TR are available at the ‘members only’ section of the ABU website.
