System and Method for Using Emergency Alert System Messages

摘要

A home gateway (102) includes a receiving component (106), a reformatting (109) component, a transcoding component (107), and a transmitting component (110). The receiving component (106) can receive an emergency alert system message in a first format. The reformatting component (109) can output a reformatted emergency alert system message in a second format, wherein the reformatted emergency alert system message is based on the received emergency alert system message. The transcoding component (107) may transcode content of the received emergency alert system message. The transmitting component (110) can transmit a notification, based on the reformatted emergency alert system message, to a client device (104).
