The Local Access Alert (also known as Local Access System or Emergency Override System) is a system designed to warn radio stations, television stations, cable television broadcast feeds or satellite signals of impending dangers such as severe weather and other civil emergencies. With a gradual transition from analog cable to digital cable, the Local Access Alert has been phased out and largely replaced with the Emergency Alert System in the United States.^{[1][failed verification]}
