CBS transmits real-time, geo-targeted disaster alert messages directly to all mobile handsets in a designated geographic area during emergencies like tsunamis, earthquakes, flash floods, or chemical leaks. Unlike traditional SMS, CBS bypasses network congestion and delivers pop-up alerts with loud distinctive alarms in seconds.
