    The federal government's steward of funding for public broadcasting stations
    sued the Trump administration on Thursday over its pause in grant payments for
    upgrading the nation's emergency alert system.

    The nonprofit Corporation for Public Broadcasting's federal lawsuit says a
    recent hold on grant funds for modernizing the alert system hampers the
    ability of federal, state and local authorities to issue real-time emergency
    alerts.

    The national Emergency Alert System helps government officials issue alerts
    about disasters, including flash floods, blizzards, tornados and hurricanes.

    The CPB administers the Next Generation Warning System grant program for FEMA.
    The grants help pay for public media stations to upgrade their emergency
    alerting equipment. The program has over 40 grant recipients.

    The CPB is seeking a court order for FEMA to immediately lift the hold so that
    the corporation and the grant recipients can be reimbursed for expenses.
