One of the outstanding features of the Source Information System is the broadcasting of emergency bulletins. The emergency bulletins will be sent by the Provincial Source Information System to each commune-level radio station applying information technology - telecommunications at the same time for immediate broadcasting in emergency situations (national defense, security; natural disaster prevention and control, search and rescue; fire; emergency, epidemic; local disasters, etc.). In special cases, the Provincial Source Information System receives a request from the Central Source Information System to broadcast an emergency bulletin on a radio station applying information technology - telecommunications, the Provincial Source Information System will give priority to immediately broadcasting the bulletin to transmit the emergency content to the commune-level radio station applying information technology - telecommunications for propaganda to the People.

This is an important shared platform for officials working on information at the provincial, district and commune levels in the province. In the coming time, the Source Information System will officially operate according to the Regulations issued in Decision No. 993/QD-UBND dated August 19, 2024 of the Provincial People's Committee.
