Abstract
A method and apparatus for handling emergency information for a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU configured to receive scheduling information and receive a first transmission with a plurality of earthquake and tsunami warning system (ETWS) sub-system information blocks (sub-SIBs) of a first part of a ETWS-SIB based on the scheduling information, wherein the plurality of ETWS sub-SIBs of the first part include segments of a secondary ETWS message. The WTRU is further configured to receive a second transmission of a plurality of ETWS sub-SIBs of a second part of the second ETWS-SIB interspersed with non-EWTS system information, wherein the plurality of ETWS sub-SIBs of the second part include segments of the secondary ETWS message. The WTRU is further configured to recover the secondary ETWS message from the first and second part of the second ETWS-SIB and then display the recovered secondary ETWS message via a user interface.
