Fwd: EM Notification to Public During an Emergency

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I would be happy to compiled a list of agencies that correspond to 
this request. This seems like a clear example that developing a 
public registry is a good idea.

Let's get a preliminary list together, Art, and use it as a starting 
point for discussing this issue more.

Ciao,
Rex

P.S. As a heads up, I am about to send out a long message about 
liaisons and collaborations.
