The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) is a <br />modernization and integration of the nation’s alert and warning infrastructure and will save time when time matters <br />most, protecting life and property. Local government can use IPAWS and integrate local systems that use Common <br />Alerting Protocol (CAP) standards with the IPAWS infrastructure. Our Mass Notification system’s IPAWS integration <br />provides an effective way to alert the public not only through wireless networks, but also through landlines, cable <br />and satellite TV, AM/FM radio, digital signage, PA systems, websites, social media, and, if power goes out, NOAA <br />weather radio. IPAWS can be used to handle any kind of threat to the public, including overturned vehicles containing <br />hazardous chemicals, severe weather alerts, missing children, or even terrorists on the loose. The more local, state, <br />and tribal authorities adopt IPAWS, the more communities will be safe and strengthened by good communication. <br />Mounds View will be responsible for obtaining and maintaining Alerting Authority, as defined at https://www.fema. <br />gov/emergency-managers/practitioners/integrated-public-alert-warning-system/public-safety-officials/alerting- <br />authorities, with the Federal Emergency Management Agency in order to utilize the IPAWS software provided by <br />CivicPlus. <br />The Civic Impact Platform <br />For governments to operate smoothly, departments, staff, and residents need to be able to find answers, complete <br />their tasks, and communicate without hassle.
