This site is dedicated to retrieving and tweeting alerts as posted to the FEMA Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) for Virginia’s First Congressional District.  It is live from IPAWS Production as an example of what might be done  through social media. Also see @ipawsalerts on Twitter for links to this blog.   I can provide you your own blog that is customized to your needs. See grandpaham.com for more info and and my contact information if you would like your own, more-tailored version of this capability.   Gary Ham – 30 July 2013.
