Critical Public Safety Alerts — Direct to Your Production Floor

MOLI Deployments in the United States are connected to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, or IPAWS.

IPAWS provides emergency and life-saving information to the public. MOLI ensures that your employees receive these critical notifications at their workstations — even if their phones are in their lockers and the radio's off.

How it Works

MOLI pulls the public IPAWS data feed and determines whether each alert on the feed applies to your MOLI System based on geography and your configured alerting options.

If the alert applies, MOLI displays it system-wide until it disappears from the feed.

Alerts can be configured based on message type, category, urgency, severity, certainty, and response type.

About IPAWS

IPAWS was established in 2006 under Executive Order 13407 as a national alerting system to quickly and reliably provide authenticated emergency and life-saving information to the public via publically-accessible technologies. Today, more than 1,500 federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial alerting authorities use IPAWS to send critical alerts within their jurisdictions. The system delivers alerts about imminent threats to life or property, Presidential alerts, AMBER alerts, and more.

IPAWS supports multiple types of message delivery. Through the Emergency Alert System (EAS), alerts are delivered through radio and television broadcasts. Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are broadcast from cell towers to all devices in range. Other technologies, including Digital Highway Signs and NOAA Weather Radio are also supported.
