 What is enhanced geo-targeting?

Enhanced geographic targeting of Wireless Emergency Alerts transmits Alert Messages in a geographically precise manner, with the intent that Alerts reach communities impacted by an emergency without disturbing others. Alert Messages are sent to areas that best approximate the zone of emergency. WEA-capable mobile devices in the Alert zone can receive the Alert, even if they are roaming or visiting from another area.
