Re: [emergency-cap] Suggested topics for IAEM wireless alerting day.

[Mike Gerber - NOAA Federal <mike.gerber@noaa.gov>]

Hereâs what Iâm thinking in terms of a title and abstract to draw more people.Â

Wireless Alerting Crash Course

Learn how to get up and running with wireless alerts! Wireless alerting is a game changer. Public safety managers who use wireless alerts are quickly reaching the general public with life saving information even when cellular networks are jammed. However, many public safety managers are hesitant to use it because they donât know where to get started, donât know enough about it, or heard stories about it not working right. By attending this session, youâll learn from the best and get the facts. Youâll learn how wireless alerting works, best practices and lessons learned, and whatâs being done to expand the wireless alerting around the world. Alert origination and technical experts will provide you with applicable knowledge and answer the questions you were afraid to ask.

Mark,

Elysa originally asked me to discuss 10 years of WEA and lessons learned, so Iâd say session 3 in your top alternative works for me. Iâd also share best practices. I can definitely fill time.Â

I can take a crack at an update to the title and abstract today to see if we can draw some more people to the session.Â

See below a suggestion for IAEM meeting one day workshop on wireless alerting. If we donât have all day then we can compound sessions 2 and 3 together.

Session 1
What is wireless alerting and why do I want it? (Tom).

Session 2
How wireless networks are designed and how wireless alerting really works. (Mark).

Session 3
Hints and tips for getting the best from WEA (ATIS document review). (Maybe Mike to present as he is an ATIS member familiar with the issues?).

Session 4
Review of the OASIS MAP draft and subsequent questions and discussions. (Mark).
