As part of the agreement, FEMA will integrate HD Radio's Emergency Alerts feature into its Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) test and demonstration center in Maryland. The test facility houses all of the communication technologies used for emergency alerting, and provides education for state emergency responders, politicians, and other government officials. HD Radio's Emergency Alert feature will be on demonstration at NAB Show 2019 in the FEMA/IPAWS booth, located at Central Hall Stand C3330. "We are excited about this agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency," said Ashruf El-Dinary, vice president of radio technology solutions at Xperi. "The integration of HD Radio's Emergency Alerts feature in the IPAWS facility will demonstrate the capabilities of digital radio technology as an advanced emergency notification solution for the public. For the first time FEMA will have the ability to test the Emergency Alert System using commercial HD Radio receivers." The HD Radio Emergency Alerts feature provides visual as well as auditory notifications to consumers.
