52. Federal Government Says: “ One person can take a photo. One person can post a message …and it changes all our understanding of a situation immediately.” -- Macon Phillips, Director of New Media for the White House Emergency Social Data Summit (August 12, 2010) “ Social media can empower the public to be part of the response, not as victims to be taken care of.“ -- Craig Fugate, FEMA Administrator Emergency Social Data Summit (August 12, 2010)
Integrated Public Alert and Warning System ( IPAWS ) – FEMA messaging program using CAP. Commercial Mobile Alert System ( CMAS ) FCC in 2008 issued a series of orders adopting requirements for a Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) that would allow commercial mobile service providers to transmit emergency alerts to their subscribers.
iNWS is open to emergency managers as a way to obtain SMS and email alerts from the NWS directly to your wireless device. It is not a service for the public at large – the private sector fills that role. SMS = short message service. SMS messaging allows for short text messages.
View your tailor-made alerts from a vast array of NWS warning, watch, and advisory products for the areas you have specified for notification. Then click on “View More” to get more information regarding the alert.
You will then be able to see a map of the area being identified in the watch, warning, or advisory. The entire text of the watch, warning, or advisory will be located below the map.
After your registration has been submitted and approved, you can identify the area (or areas) where you wish to be alerted for any watches, warnings, or advisories.
Colorado Celebrates Water in 2012 – a statewide educational program designed for participation by students of all ages and all schools, including private schools and home schools. 2012 was selected for this celebration because 2012 is the 75th anniversary of the passage of a state law that created the Colorado Water Conservation Board and several major water conservancy/conservation districts in Colorado. This program was developed by Colorado State University in coordination with State of Colorado Climatologist Nolan Doesken, and the related CoCoRaHS organization. Many groups have been trying to get organized on a common theme for a water education campaign for 2012, and this program was selected as a great way to celebrate the 75th anniversary for Colorado's water conservation programs. The slogan: "2012 -- a year for water education in Colorado."
In the past, our communications model has focused on the use of mass media. We deployed a fantastic set of technology during the Modernization. With that technology, we quickly evolved our expertise using that technology to produce a robust database of information, from which we focused on production of mass media oriented “products” for our customers. Our offices were isolated from the outside world, and we developed a mindset of “push” for our information. We manipulated it until we felt it was perfect, then we pushed it out to the world for them to make use of it.
Less tolerance for community leaders not being aware of impending high impact events. They want access to weather expertise! Partners are becoming increasingly mobile, need for information -- anytime, anywhere Current NWS dissemination of information is not keeping pace with consumer technologies that are being adopted (for example, cell phones/PDA with Internet access is quickly becoming the new communication standard in the U.S.) The personalized delivery of information, vice mass media, is the new communications model of the 21 st century
In the 21 st century, that communications mold is broken. While our technology continues to evolve and we continue to produce a robust database of information, our customers now demand the databases directly, not just what we give them in products. They also want it in the technologies they use for conducting business, not just our weather wire or NWR. While our offices remain fairly isolated from the outside world, customers are asking for more interactive experiences from us so they can tap our interpretation as much as our data. Dissemination is evolving to a “pull” mentality for our information. Our customers are saying, “Give us the best you have now, and tell us your uncertainties, so we can make the best risk-based decisions we can at this time!” We still have a need as we do today to produce quality information, but our delivery of it will be vastly different.
