[EAS] Is IPAWS down?

[Harold Price]

It does tell you something, but it isn't definitive.  You can have 
routing or DNS issues that will allow the ENDEC to send email 
(especially if you are using a mail server on your internal network) 
but not allow you to get to IPAWS.  I had this happen in June - my 
ISP's DNS would not serve up an address for apps.fema.gov for several hours.
