“Update/Brief on the Newest Procedures in IPAWS."
This
month’s speaker is Mr. Antwane Johnson who is the Director of the Integrated
Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS).
Mr. Johnson is one of the Directors
for the National Continuity Programs. He will be discussing the policy of
the United States to have an effective, integrated, and comprehensive system to
alert and warn the American people facing immediate serious situations.
IPAWS is a National System for local alerting to radio and television
as Emergency Alert System broadcasts; cellular phones as Wireless Emergency
Alerts; NOAA All Hazards Weather, Radio, Internet applications, and
websites.
This policy is expanded to enable state and local officials to
alert local populations during local emergencies and provide for better and
