The present invention is a system and method for wireless emergency notification. In embodiments, a Civic Notification Service Centre (CNSC) generates a notification message, the notification message including a location identifier and notification information. The location identifier represents a geographical area such as a postal code, city street, neighborhood, or municipality. The CNSC transmits the notification message to a message switch that translates the location identifier to at least one device identifier such as a CAP code that is allocated to a set of notification devices assigned to the geographical location defined by the location identifier. Alternatively, the device identifier could be directly input within the notification message. After translation, the resulting notification message is transmitted to a set of base stations which subsequently transmit the notification message to a plurality of notification devices. The notification devices programmed with the device identifier within the notification message process the notification information. In some cases, a select set of base stations could be defined to transmit a notification message and therefore a limited wireless coverage area would be used that primarily focuses on the geographical area defined by the location identifier of the message. This notification system allows for the bypassing of the PSTN which ensures that in times of emergency, when the PSTN tends to be over-loaded, the notification message can still be delivered to the appropriate notification devices.
