emergency communication
Urgent distress message
Emergency communication is the transmission of urgent information during crises—natural disasters, accidents, or threats to public safety.
It encompasses systems like 911 calls, broadcast alerts, and warning sirens, as well as the messages themselves: Emergency communications warned residents to evacuate.
The term also describes the field of planning and technology devoted to such systems.
