IPAWS Webinar: Alert Origination Software Provider Demonstration

Wednesday, May 20, 2020 @ 1:00 PM EDT

We continue to see new alert origination software products integrate with IPAWS and we are happy to support review and demonstration of these products for you. It’s a great way for you to determine your alerting requirements and assess vendor capabilities to meet those needs.

Please join the IPAWS Program Management Office (PMO) for an Alert Origination Software Provider (AOSP) Webinar on Wednesday, May 20, 2020, at 1:00 PM ET for product demonstrations followed by Q&A. This AOSP webinar will feature representatives from:

Genasys
Rave Mobile Safety
Singlewire
Titan HST

IPAWS PMO staff member Jody Smith will lead the 90-minute webinar which will begin with a brief overview of IPAWS and the scenario to be used for demonstration by our presenters. The webinar will then be turned over to the respective presenters from each provider. Each presenter will have 20 minutes to provide product overview and demonstrate their IPAWS integration, followed by Q&A.

This webinar will be recorded for future viewing; however, we encourage your live attendance to maximize the time for questions and answers with the presenters.

FEMA ADVISORY – May 15, 2020

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: Whole-of-America Response

Attached you will find today’s FEMA Daily Briefing Points for the Whole-of-America response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. These briefing points include Topline Messages, as well as information By the Numbers; Supply Chain Task Force; FEMA and Department of Health and Human Services Response; and Guidance from Federal Agencies.

Topline messaging includes:

On May 14, President Trump announced continued efforts to ensure a fully stocked, resilient national stockpile and the strong domestic industrial base needed to confront COVID-19.

These efforts will include a plan to restructure the Strategic National Stockpile, implanting lessons learned from recent pandemics.
Additionally, the President signed an executive order providing authority to ensure America is producing critical goods necessary to build up our strategic stockpiles and reduce dependency on foreign supplies.

As of May 14, FEMA, HHS, and the private sector combined have coordinated the delivery of or are currently shipping: 92.7 million N95 respirators, 133.7 million surgical masks, 10.5 million face shields, 22.5 million surgical gowns, and 989 million gloves.
FEMA has procured and delivered 4.1 million swabs and 2.3 million media so far in the month of May. In support of the White House Task Force’s testing initiative, FEMA is supporting the procurement of specimen collection supplies to supplement the supplies states and healthcare providers are procuring from the private market.
As of May 14, CDC, state, and local public health labs and other laboratories have tested more than 9.5 million samples.

HHS and FEMA have expanded items supplied by the International Reagent Resource (IRR) to help public health labs access free diagnostics supplies and reagents.
As of May 12, the FDA has issued 95 individual emergency use authorizations (EAU) for test kit manufacturers and laboratories, including 12 antibody tests and 1 antigen test.

On May 15, FEMA updated information on the process used by the National Resource Prioritization Cell. The cell uses data from FEMA, HHS and CDC to develop recommendations to ensure distribution of the right resources to the right places at the right times. The resource prioritization process will now be conducted every seven days.
On April 27, President Trump unveiled the Opening Up America Again Testing Overview and Testing Blueprint designed to facilitate state development and implementation of the robust testing plans and rapid response programs described in the President’s Guidelines for Opening Up America Again.

On May 11, President Trump announced additional efforts to ensure that every state, territory and tribe has the resources they need to meet their testing goals for opening up America again.
