Panel Session
Vault Recording: TBD
This session addresses alerts, warnings, and notifications (AWN) in emergency communications governance. Outbound communication to the public is a vital link in the emergency communications chain. Although mass notification alerts to the public can save lives, this panel will discuss at what point that becomes too much or overwhelming.
Participants will hear real-world examples of AWN usage and how to avoid alert overload to the public. This panel will discuss how to assist alerting authorities with effectively using AWN services and identify opportunities to improve use of AWN technologies.
