CEASA is a resource, not a source…

​The Civil Emergency Alert Services Association, CEASA is a UN recognized non-government information society dedicated to providing at-risk citizens better access to emergency-event information through the volunteer efforts of telecommunication engineers, academics, and innovators dedicated to independent research and development of wireless capabilities that offer humanitarian benefit but lack a sufficient revenue opportunity to support commercial development.

 

As an independent research partnership, CEASA Working Groups are uniquely positioned to define best practice and solutions uncompromised by commercial or political influences.

 

Founded in 1988, CEASA and its volunteers are the recognized founders of cellular broadcast emergency alerting services. The patented gateway middleware programs developed by CEASA Working Group members is used by the US 'Wireless Emergency Alert' (WEA) service and serves as a model for cellular alerting programs operating in over 39 nations.

• Mission Statement:

It is the mission of the Civil Emergency Alert Services association and its chapters, to inform and demonstrate  the need, availability, and commercial sustainability of wireless technologies as a media for reducing disaster risk and public vulnerability to imminent threats,

 

• Objective:

To promote and establish viable trust protocols that will define the operational terms and best practices by which private assets and infrastructures can be made available for public safety applications through globally harmonized and economically sustained programs.

 

• Purpose:

When the association's Honery Secretary General , Mark Wood, toured the Tsunami devastated island nation of Sri Lanka, he spoke with the citizens of the small fishing village, Ahungelle.  They told of the terror that came unannounced from the very sea, which they depend on for their livelihood. They spoke of how they are now afraid to sleep at night when the ocean cannot be seen.

It is the purpose of CEASA to put critical information about unseen threats, “in our hands,” so we can all sleep at night.

 

• Pledge:

CEASA is, and shall remain, a political, economic, and technologically neutral resource, 

 

• Vision

It is the vision to save lives, relieve suffering, and restore order through effective dissemination of emergency and humanitarian information.
