EBS: Applying for Access to IPAWS-OPEN (MOA Attached)

Topic

How to apply for access to IPAWS-OPEN (MOA attached).

Description

IPAWS stands for "Integrated Public Alert & Warning System."

To apply for access to IPAWS-OPEN follow the instructions found on the FEMA website for Alert Origination Software Providers (AOSPs). Note that developers are encouraged to test their products in the IPAWS-OPEN development environment to ensure they are IPAWS-compatible. If compatible, developers must execute a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with FEMA to gain access to the IPAWS-OPEN development environment. See attached.

Email the completed MOA to IPAWS@fema.dhs.gov and indicate "Developer MOA Application" in the subject line.

NOTE: There is a broken URL in the attached MOA, http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=5670. FEMA has been notified to update the document. As of Sep 25, 2024 the document has not been updated. Meanwhile the updated URL is:
