A digital
telecommunications client-
server system for globally collecting, routing and distributing emergency alerts. An application
client intercepts a
Cell Broadcast emergency alert received by the terminal and forwards a copy of the alert with its parameters and along with other terminal and SIM information to the
application server. The
application server routes the received copy of the emergency alert to interested users, systems or third parties. The
application server stores copies of received such
cell broadcast emergency alerts forwarded by application clients, recognizes unique alerts, assigns to each of them a unique alert identifier, stores them in its alert registry and maintains up-to-date alert history and statistics. Without using the application
server, a user with an application
client can autonomously
route intercepted emergency alerts to other interested users, systems or third parties.
