A system and method for generating storm warnings which are precisely tailored automatically for a particular individual or business user's geographic location of interest. The user establishes an individualized user profile, in which the user may define a particular location of interest and a contact address to which a personalized storm warning is to be delivered. The user may also establish a storm profile defining characteristics of a storm for which the user desires a storm warning to be provided. A detailed and accurate storm track is generated. Generated storm tracks are compared to individual user profiles. Personalized storm warnings are generated for user profiles defining locations of interest within a predicted storm track, if the storm track characteristics of the storm meet the characteristics specified in the storm profile established by the user, and may be delivered to users via e-mail, cell phone, pager, etc.

The method of processing a call of claim 1 wherein the step of performing different call processing steps depending on a result determined by the relationship function includes the steps of: upon determining that the called MS is located in the Home CSCF's service area: obtaining a transport address for the called MS from a location server; and setting up the call. 3. The method of processing a call of claim 1 wherein the step of performing different call processing steps depending on a result determined by the relationship function includes the steps of: upon determining that the CSCF is not the Home CSCF: determining whether the CSCF is currently serving the called MS; and obtaining a transport address for the called MS from a location server and setting up the call, upon determining that the CSCF is currently serving the called MS. 4. The method of processing a call of claim 1 wherein the step of performing different call processing steps depending on a result determined by the relationship function includes the steps of: upon determining that the CSCF is not the Home CSCF: sending a query message to a Domain Name Server (DNS) to obtain an address of the called MS's Home CSCF, upon determining that the CSCF is not currently serving the called MS. 5. In a Call State Control Function (CSCF) in a third generation Internet Protocol (3G.IP) network, a method of processing a call to a called mobile station (MS), said network having a plurality of CSCFs, a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) that stores location information for the called MS, a location server that stores a transport address for the called MS, and a Domain Name Server (DNS) that stores an address for a Home CSCF for the called MS, said method comprising the steps of: receiving an incoming call setup message in the CSCF, said call setup message including an identifier of the called MS; determining in the CSCF whether the CSCF is the Home CSCF for the called MS; upon determining that the CSCF is the Home CSCF: determining whether the called MS is located in the Home CSCF's service area; obtaining location information for the called MS from the HSS, upon determining that the called MS is not located in the Home CSCF's service area; and obtaining a transport address for the called MS from the location server and setting up the call, upon determining that the called MS is located in the Home CSCF's service area; upon determining that the CSCF is not the Home CSCF: determining whether the CSCF is currently serving the called MS; obtaining a transport address for the called MS from the location server and setting up the call, upon determining that the CSCF is currently serving the called MS; and sending a query message to the DNS to obtain the address of the called MS's Home CSCF, upon determining that the CSCF is not currently serving the called MS. 6. The method of processing a call of claim 5 wherein the method is performed in every CSCF in the network whenever an incoming call setup message is received in the CSCF. 7. In a Call State Control Function (CSCF) in a third generation Internet Protocol (3G.IP) network, a method of processing a call to a called mobile station (MS), said method comprising the steps of: receiving an incoming call setup message in the CSCF, said call setup message including an identifier of the called MS; determining with a relationship function, whether the CSCF is a Home CSCF for the called MS; performing a first set of call processing steps if the CSCF is the Home CSCF for the called MS; determining whether the CSCF is currently serving the called MS if the CSCF is not the Home CSCF for the called MS; performing a second set of call processing steps if the CSCF is currently serving the called MS; and performing a third set of call processing steps if the CSCF is not the Home CSCF and is not currently serving the called MS. 8. An all-Internet Protocol (IP) network in which call processing of a call to a called mobile station (MS) is performed by a plurality of Call State Control Functions (CSCFs), said network comprising: a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) that stores location information for the called MS; a location server that stores a transport address for the called MS; a Domain Name Server (DNS) that stores an address for a Home CSCF for the called MS; a relationship function implemented in each of the plurality of CSCFs that determines whether any CSCF that receives a call setup message is the Home CSCF for the called MS, a Serving CSCF for the called MS, or neither a Home CSCF nor a Serving CSCF for the called MS; and defined call processing functions in each CSCF that are selectively performed, depending on a result determined by the relationship function, wherein the defined call processing functions in each CSCF include a function that obtains the address for the Home CSCF for the called MS from the DNS and forwards the call setup message to the Home CSCF, upon determining that the CSCF that received the call setup message is neither the Home CSCF nor the Serving CSCF for the called MS. 9. The all-IP network of claim 8 wherein the defined call processing functions in each CSCF include a function that obtains the location information for the called MS from the HSS, and forwards the call to a Serving CSCF at that location, upon determining that the CSCF that received the call setup message is the Home CSCF, but not the Serving CSCF, for the called MS. 10. The all-IP network of claim 8 wherein the defined call processing functions in each CSCF include a function that obtains the transport address of the called MS from the location server and sets up the call, upon determining that the CSCF that received the call setup message is the Serving CSCF for the called MS. 1999-254992, JP; 1999-255093, JP; 1999-304663, JP; 1999-304662, JP; 816849, SU; WO99/030942, WO
