- Answer
The emergency alert capability is an integral part of the DRM standard which natively supports emergency alert signalling (EWF). DRM receivers are triggered to re-tune automatically to an emergency transmission (including optional auto-switch-on) while flashing the screen and increasing the audio volume. Text in several languages can also be shown on the digital radios screen as well.
