Emergency Broadcast Stations
The Emergency Broadcast System, known as EBS, is a network of commercial radio and television stations that have agreed to broadcast emergency announcements in case of an emergency or disaster. These announcements keep you aware of the nature and immediacy of the emergency, as well as providing instructions regarding evacuation routes, shelter locations, and the like.

The majority of area television and radio stations participate in EBS. Your best sources for emergency information for Irvine is the city's website, ICTV Channel 30, or 1640AM Emergency Radio station.
