Emergency Broadcast Alert Service (French Trafalgar, British Waterloo)

The Emergency Broadcast Alert Service (EBAS) is a Federal, State and Local emergency service designed to quickly alert the people in the locale effected via the use of television, radio, sirens and recently through text-messages and e-mails of disasters, both natural and man-made, as well as "...the event of war, the threat of war and grave national crisis." Established in 1962 to replace (Control of Electric Radiation), the EBAS is still in use to this day. Over the years, it has been updated, including sending a mass e-mail to all those that have signed up, starting in 1996, and recently sending a widespread text message to all cell phones made since 2008.
