System (IPAWS) is hosting a Virtual Roundtable event Thursday, June 9, with
industry and State and local government leaders in the emergency alert and
warning field.  

 

Virtual roundtable leaders and experts will discuss experiential and
anecdotal EAS technical challenges and EAS community outreach and engagement
activities to harness and share existing lessons learned. The virtual
roundtable is designed to promote a free exchange of solutions-based ideas
in a positive, authentic, and collegial atmosphere. This ground-breaking,
collaborative forum will spotlight perspectives and share best practices for
improving the EAS across a wide range of discussion topics.
