held from 2 pm to 4 pm PDT on Monday, April 16. 

 

Among the guests slated to speak at this year's gathering are:

 

David Webb from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who will
deliver a presentation on IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning
System).  David is IPAWS Project Officer which is under the Readiness
Division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

These three programs will provide a significant look into the future of EAS

will also be audio recorded and archived for later listening.
