[EAS] Part 11 / Local CAP Relay Networks

[Don Heppelmann]

Ed,

I do indeed know about the DEAS and how it died on the vine. We still have that mux and sat data receiver on the shelf. I recall the PID also, 911. Too bad, I thought the concept was good.

Sure don't understand why that system couldn't be resurrected again. I guess the fed's want to do it one way, and every state has to do it their way and so it goes. I suppose it all depends who is buying or paying for it and they get to decide the workflow.

Don - please see my other post on this.  It would indeed be possible to pull the FEMA CAP messages and push them through a data broadcast architecture (is that aggregating the aggregator??).  Pulling them from the IPAWS aggregator will work only if a state is actually forwarding alerts to IPAWS - a number of states may not be planning to do that, at least for every type of alert.
