The NWS has a special agreement with FEMA’s Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) so that alerts with an XXX of “NWS” pass through to the IPAWS public alerts feed. A SAME value ( XXX) of “NWS” means the alert is not for a type listed in FCC Part 11.31. The NWS produces many types of alerts, some of which are not listed in FCC Part 11.31.
