I got this message from FEMA in my email yesterday.  Just a friendly
reminder.

 

I thought it might be a good thing to mention it.  See below.

EAS Digital Certification Update Required


An element of the current Emergency Alert System (EAS) IPAWS CAP message
verification certificate used by EAS devices will expire on Sunday, April
28. Any EAS device not updated prior to that date will no longer be able to
authenticate received IPAWS CAP messages. EAS device manufacturers have
included the updated verification certificate in recently published updates
or made it available via other means. If you have not done so already,
please reach out to your EAS manufacturer as soon as possible to replace the
existing digital certification bundle or update your EAS device firmware, as
necessary. You may review your EAS device logs following the regular Monday
morning IPAWS RWT to determine if your EAS device has the updated
verification certificate.

Thank you to all our AM/FM radio, television, and cable partners. Every day
we see the impact of the lifesaving EAS alerts you voluntarily distribute.
Your community is safer because of you. 

Please let us know if you have any questions at  <mailto:IPAWS at fema.dhs.gov>
IPAWS at fema.dhs.gov.
