A message generator (210) detects an event and generates an alert message (215). The alert message includes sufficient information to identify a geographic region impacted by the detected event. The alert message is delivered to the message director (220). The message director analyzes the alert message to identify the geographic region impacted. The message director then, utilizing the communication system (230), delivers an alert signal to each of the remote units (240) that are within the geographic region. More particularly, the present invention may be embodied within a weather warning system and utilize the nationwide pager network for the delivery of alert signals.
