摘要

A method that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example transmitting, by a system comprising a processor, via a first emergency media channel a first video stream comprising first evacuation routing information for a first evacuation group responsive to receiving a notification of an emergency event, instructing, by the system, a first media processor device to select the first emergency media channel while disabling selection of other media channels according to the first evacuation routing information, where the content of the emergency media channel is presented at a display device by way of the first media processor device, and enabling, by the system, the first media processor device to select the other media channels responsive to receiving user input acknowledging the emergency media channel. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving a notification of a message from a message service, wherein the notification comprises first message information;determining a first geographic region according to first message location information;creating a multicast group in response to receiving the notification, wherein members of the multicast group comprise first media processor devices in the first geographic region;transmitting, via a first media channel, a multicast of first media content to the members of the multicast group, wherein the first media content comprises the first message information;instructing one of the first media processor devices to select the first media channel while disabling selection of other media channels, wherein the first media processor device presents content from the first media channel at a display device; anddividing the first geographic region into a plurality of sub-divisions, wherein the plurality of sub-divisions are separated based on a proximity to the first geographic region, wherein additional multicast groups are created for each of the plurality of sub-divisions.
