dc.description.abstractIntroduction/Background: Natural disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity causing damage to the environment, infrastructure, and increased loss of life. Disaster risk communication has a critical role to play in mitigating the impact and damage from instances of severe climate or weather conditions such as heat waves, tropical cyclones, and floods. Short message services (SMS) are often used to issue alerts and warnings ahead of and during an event, providing key information to the public about protective measures. Objective: The aim of this systematic and scoping review is to assess the literature and understand the use of mobile alerts or warnings used in communicating about extreme weather events. The purpose is to provide emergency preparedness, public health, and communications professionals with an overview of the current landscape to implement this strategy. Methods: We will identify peer-reviewed journal articles from several online databases including PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Academic Search Complete, and GreenFILE. We will first complete a title and abstract search, followed by a full-text screening of the selected articles. Studies will be included if they address natural disasters, e.g. hurricanes, floods, wildfires; extreme weather events, e.g. extreme cold weather event, extreme heat event; the use of a mobile alert or warning strategy, e.g. SMS alerts. Planned search dates are April 2025 through May 2025. Ethics and Dissemination: This systematic and scoping review focuses on peer-reviewed articles and does not require ethical review. Findings will be disseminated in publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
