The Federal Communications Commission’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau will host a summit, “Promoting an Effective Emergency Alert System on the Road to a Next Generation EAS,” on May 19, 2008, in the Commission Meeting Room in Washington, DC.
In line with the FCC’s 2007 Second Report and Order on EAS that was released last July, the summit discussions will focus on the current state of the nation’s EAS and what is needed to transition to a more robust, next generation alert and warning system to help ensure that all citizens receive accurate and timely information during emergencies.
The Summit will be open to the public, though admittance will be limited to the seating available. Those individuals who are interested in attending the summit may pre-register online at fcc.gov/pshs/summits/eas. The deadline for pre-registration is May 15.
Coverage of the meeting will be broadcast live with open captioning over the Internet from the FCC's web page, fcc.gov/realaudio. The webcast is free to the public and does not require pre-registration.
