4. There is no sign-up or subscription necessary
for the public to receive alert messages.
C*MAS requires no sign up and can reach CMAS was designed knowing that if the general public is
every cell phone in the United States. required to submit their contact info into a government controlled
database, they will not participate.
There are several companies today with subscription based
systems with installations at colleges and municipalities. The one
thing they all have in common is a very low participation rate of the
available community. This documented fact makes their systems
virtually ineffective. No amount of advertising or promotion of such
a system will change the public’s perception or participation.
The only effective solution is a non-subscriber based public
service alert system much like the one used today by the radio and
TV stations and CMAS is an extension of that. The facts are clear. The
only effective Alert System can be one that requires NO Sign Up by
the general public. CMAS is the only such system.
