It was created in the framework of the Federal Target Program "Risk reduction and mitigation of natural and man-made disasters in the Russian Federation up to 2010".

The whole complex is developed and managed by an entity called Integrated Emergency Warning Systems for the Population (Russian: Комплексные системы экстренного оповещения населения) known in acronym OOO KSEON (Russian: ООО «КСЭОН»).[2]
The system is divided into components dealing with on-street public notification (PUON) and at points located on the premises (pions). They consist of a large plasma or LCD screens, cameras, sound-amplifying equipment, and equipment for radiation and chemical control (PRHK). The system includes mobile complexes for informing and warning the population known as MKION (Russian: МКИОН), the system for protection against natural and man-made threats, informing and warning the population on transport known as SZIONT (Russian: СЗИОНТ) as well as the Regional Automated System of Centralized Notification of the Population (Russian: Региональная автоматизированная система централизованного оповещения населения) known in acronym R.A.S.TS.O (Russian: РАСЦО). The OKSION system has 4 levels: federal, interregional, regional and municipal.[3] In 2023-2024, more than 10.5 thousand messages with emergency information were sent using the OKSION system through the mobile application of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia.[4]
