Public Response to Alerts and Warnings on Mobile Devices: Current Knowledge and Research Needs

Completed

Description

The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS's) Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS) program is intended to provide alerts and warnings to over 80% of the American population on mobile devices (cell phones and pagers). An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop to examine current knowledge and research on how the public responds to alerts and warnings with a specific focus on mobile alerting, examine related work on mobile and text messaging, and identify research gaps relevant to the CMAS program. The workshop will feature invited presentations and discussion. An unedited transcript of the event will be provided to DHS and placed in the project's public access file. A workshop report will be issued.
