| When an emergency response official with EAS activation authority uses IWSAlerts with the optional EAS Activation Module, they can also send the alert directly through the EAS over the Internet to broadcasters at the same time the alerts are distributed through other communication channels. IWSAlerts’ central alert management provides operators with a single place to manage all emergency scenarios, recipient information, operators’ permission, activation, and tracking and auditing of alerts for all integrated communication channels. |

| Key benefits include: |
| • |
Flexibility to launch an alert to the EAS from any networked computer, local or remote |
| • |
Reduced response times to trigger the EAS alert |
| • |
Improved messaging consistency and speed of information flow |
| • |
Significant reduction of communication cost for activation stations and the broadcasters by using the Internet instead of dedicated satellite/microwave communication channels |
| • |
Reaching a larger number of broadcasters and therefore a larger proportion of the public |
