## Abstract

Methods and apparatus for providing indications of received emergency alert messages to devices within a consumer premises are disclosed. In one embodiment, a consumer premise equipment (CPE) receiving one or more emergency alert messages from a content provider or managed network determines one or more alert responses for one or more devices of the consumer premise network. In one implementation, the responses are based at least in part on the received emergency alert messages themselves. The CPE issues one or more commands to one or more devices present within the consumer premises (which may be for example a home automation system), to indicate the one or more determined alert indication responses, such as auditory alert and visual alert by the one or more devices. Thus, users in the consumer premises may be made aware of an alert message outside of the typical means in which an alert is displayed, such as via a television.

-20. (canceled)

### Claim 21

Computerized apparatus configured for use in a content delivery network, the computerized apparatus comprising:
a processor apparatus;
one or more interfaces in data communication with the processor apparatus; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium with at least one computer program stored thereon, the at least one computer program configured to, when executed, cause the computerized apparatus to:
