Emergency Public Warning System (EPWS)
The Alberta Emergency Public Warning System was created following the 1987 Edmonton Tornado as a joint public alerting initiative with CKUA funded by the Alberta Government. The EPWS gives warning to Albertans over the radio and the television to take action and protect themselves from disasters. This system is activated by trained users living throughout Alberta who, using their telephone, will deliver vital information regarding a threat to the safety of Albertans.
