[EAS] {Spam?} Re: Authority to form State Emerg. Comm. Committees

Thanks Harold for posting this.  FEMA has been providing a fair amount of information either through general resources (like the FEMA website Harold posted below), as well as through direct briefings to groups like the EAS-CAP Industry Group.  

In addition, resources to look at would be the IPAWS conformity assessment itself, which will give a good picture of how and why this is relevant:  https://www.nimssc.org/ipawsconform/default.asp.  The CA program guide provides detail on what the scope of testing: https://www.nimssc.org/ipawsconform/files/IPAWS_CA_Program_Guide.pdf

Those seeking more information on the CAP origination side (how alerts move from the originator into the IPAWS aggregator), might want to take a look at the presentations at http://www.fema.gov/about/programs/disastermanagement/

Testing of this system is underway. FEMA has published the technical specs, a test environment is up and in use, and a production server is up and awaiting companies to finish testing.This FEMA web page is mainly for developers, not users, but you can see the archived and most recent seminars and get a sense of what's taking place.http://www.fema.gov/about/programs/disastermanagement/open/sig.shtmMy guess is that we'll see some instructions from the device vendors on how to access the FEMA server in the summer.HaroldAt 07:10 PM 3/3/2011, Richard Rudman wrote:>If your state does not have a CAP source now, according to the >existing Report and Order, you will receive information on the IP >address for the federal CAP aggregator.
