The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Office of Disability Integration and Coordination (ODIC) and Integrated Public Alerts and Warning System (IPAWS) Program Management Office (PMO) will partner to host an open roundtable on May 7, 2014. The semi-annual roundtable offers industry partners and other stakeholders a chance to discuss the IPAWS program and “commercial and Federal initiatives that might be leveraged in support of the disability community.” While all IPAWS-ODIC roundtable discussions have focused on accessible alerting, this event will be the first to explore current organizational and individual efforts to enhance emergency communications. Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP to Hans.Yu@fema.dhs.gov or by calling (202) 646-3910. For those unable to attend, the event can also be accessed via webinar at https://femaipawslab.webex.com/femaipawslab/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=669895737.
