A method of relaying emergency information to plural mobile terminals comprises: receiving a broadcast signal in a first format (e.g. as a Digital Video Broadcast, DVB), containing the emergency information; connecting to the plural mobile terminals (e.g., mobile telephones, tablets, laptops, etc) using a communications channel; and providing (transmitting) the emergency information to the plural mobile channels in a second, different format (e.g. using WiFi, WiMax, Bluetooth, Near Field Communications (NFC)). An emergency flag may be carried in the broadcast signal and, in response to it being received at a relay device, a predetermined identifier is broadcast, identifying the relay device to the plurality of mobile (portable) terminals. Emergency or disaster related information may contain text (Figures 8A & 8B) to be converted to a webpage for display on the mobile devices, or a webpage unique resource identifier (URI); a feedback element may be provided in the webpage in response to a feedback flag in the broadcast signal. Short Message Service (SMS) messaging may be used. |
