[EAS] Word from FEMA

[Richard_Rudman]

>From FEMA:

Verizon had a major equipment failure which took the DHS primary and alternate servers off line for about 12 hours. After we complete the post-mortum, Antwane and his team will send you a report. The server was reported back up at 9:30 last night. The outage also affected our email so we could not send out a notice.

I sent a message back to FEMA that the IPAWS OPEN server is still not available for polling as of 0830 PDT today. Rebooting one EAS device I monitor did not resolve this.

A return message I just received says that IPAWS OPEN management is on site and working on the issue.
