Governments intend to use the public warning system to deliver timely and accurate information using accessible communication technologies for protecting the population and reducing damage to life and property. In particular, many countries implement system interworking with smartphones to notify of disasters or emergencies. In Korea, since 2020, due to the influence of the coronavirus disease, frequent emergency text messages led people to turn off related notifications, and complaints for receiving irrelevant messages from nearby warning areas have increased. Therefore, technical improvements for issuing more accurate disaster information to a specific region should be devised through a geography-based emergency disaster message transmission service. We analyze development trends of public warning systems and service cases of geography-based emergency text transmission services in various countries.
