The transition from analog to digital television broadcasting has opened the way to a number of new services, enabled by the advanced potentialities offered by interactive applications. Considering the wide diffusion of TV receivers among people living both in towns and rural areas, and how many people, either old or young, educated or not, are familiar with the TV box, it is reasonable to exploit such a capillary and widespread technology to reach immediately and directly almost the total population in a certain area. Among the possible applications, emergency and alert information dissemination can play a vital role in improving the communities response and reaction to natural or man made disasters. Focusing on this topic, this paper proposes an alert dissemination service exploiting an MHP interactive application developed ad hoc for DVB-T broadcasting, to force the direct delivery of emergency information to TV users.
