Abstract
A set-top box device is disclosed. The set-top box device includes a processor and a memory device accessible to the processor. The memory device includes instructions to communicate with a multi-cast alert server to receive a multicast emergency alert message. The multicast emergency alert message includes data related to a location code and data related to a set-top box action. The memory device stores location information and includes instructions to execute the set-top box action when the location code matches the location information.

9. A system to communicate emergency alerts, the system comprising:
-
a multicast alert server having a processor and a memory device accessible to the processor; wherein the memory device includes instructions to send a multicast emergency alert message to a first set-top box device at a first location and to a second set-top box device at a second location via a multicast-enabled network, wherein the multicast emergency alert message includes data related to a set-top box action and data related to a location code; and wherein the first set-top box device executes the set-top box action when the location code corresponds to the first location, and the second set-top box device executes the set-top box action when the location code corresponds to the second location. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions, that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
communicate with a multicast alert server to receive a multicast emergency alert message via a multicast-enabled network of an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) system, the multicast emergency alert message including data related to a location code and data related to a set-top box action; and execute the set-top box action when the location code matches location information stored at a set-top box device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
