Geotargeted Alerts and Warnings

---

Following earlier workshops organized by separate National Research Council (NRC) committees that explored the public response to alerts and warnings delivered to mobile devices1 and alerts and warnings delivered using social media,2 the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate asked the Computer Sci- ence and Telecommunications Board of the NRC to convene a workshop to examine more precise geotargeting of alerts and warnings. This report presents a summary of a February 21-22, 2013, workshop organized by the NRC’s Committee on Geotargeted Disaster Alerts and Warnings: Cur- rent Knowledge and Research Gaps. The workshop brought together social science researchers, technologists, emergency management profes- sionals, and other experts to explore (1) what is known about how the public responds to geotargeted alerts and warnings; (2) technologies and techniques for enhancing the geotargeting of alerts and warnings; and (3) open research questions about how to effectively use geotargeted alerts and warnings and technology gaps. The complete statement of task for the workshop is provided in Box P.1, and the workshop agenda is provided in Appendix A.
