    This paper proposes a cloud-based Advanced Emergency Information (AEI) System designed to enhance public safety by seamlessly integrating alerts from the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) with service operators. The AEI System captures emergency alerts in real time, processes them within the cloud, and enables synchronized delivery via ATSC 3.0 broadcast, MVPDs, and internet service operators. The proposed AEI System addresses key interoperability challenges across diverse broadcast and service platforms while ensuring efficiency and flexibility in alert dissemination. Built on a robust system architecture, it utilizes real-time alert processing workflows and advanced delivery mechanisms to improve the reliability of emergency communications. This paper examines these components in detail, highlighting the ability of the AEI System to ensure the widespread, synchronized distribution of critical emergency information to diverse audiences across ATSC 3.0 broadcast and modern communication networks.
