Happy New Year to all! You are invited to join us next Wednesday January 20, 12:00 Noon Eastern, for a special Joint Meeting of the DM Practitioner and Developer Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Antwane Johnson, Division Director and Program Manager for the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), and Wade Witmer, IPAWS Deputy Director, will provide an overview of the IPAWS concept of operations, current status, and plans for the transition of the Disaster Management-Open Platform for Emergency Networks (DM-OPEN) and DM-Framework collaboration and emergency management tools to the IPAWS Program. The move will be a simple shift of ownership within the agency to ensure the continued development and implementation of these services for the benefit of system users and stakeholders.
