From Sensors to Citizens: Public Warning in the 21st Century was the theme of the first annual conference and trade show sponsored by the Partnership for Public Warning. America is at risk from terrorism, accidents and natural disasters. More timely and effective public warning systems could save lives and property. This conference provided participants with information on the current state of the nation’s major warning systems and an opportunity to identify ways that government and industry can work together to improve America’s warning capability. This is the only national conference dedicated to the issues, technologies and policies associated with public alert and warning.
