Updated Event List for EM

Hi Everyone,

Below is an updated “Emergency Management Event List” for review.  Hopefully, I captured most of the recently suggested events.  I’m happy to discuss any of these events (or others) during the Adoption call today at noon.

Kind regards, Jane

** Note from Mike Gerber:   There is lots of press there and a variety of ways you can draw large crowds to your booth.  I've been the front person at the NWS booth for the past three years.  Hopefully, FEMA IPAWS will be there next year as well.  It is common for CES to have a large booth populated by vendors who are members of a larger organization.  For example, small to medium size vendors associated with one of the smart home technology associations were all under the same booth.
