Global Resource Enterprises L.L.C. and British company Eazytext Communications Ltd are marketing a wireless emergency alert solution, called City Alert Texting System (C.A.T.S.). “C.A.T.S. enables cell-phone users to register individual locations so that warnings can be sent to their phones if an emergency occurs in that area”, which is a far better system than having individual warnings for different emergencies.
