Wireless Alerting Crash Course Learn how to get up and running with wireless alerts! Wireless alerting is a game changer. Public safety managers who use wireless alerts are quickly reaching the general public with life saving information even when cellular networks are jammed. However, many public safety managers are hesitant to use it because they don t know where to get started, don t know enough about it, or heard stories about it not working right. By attending this session, you ll learn from the best and get the facts. You ll learn how wireless alerting works, best practices and lessons learned, and what s being done to expand the wireless alerting around the world. Alert origination and technical experts will provide you with applicable knowledge and answer the questions you were afraid to ask.

I d also share best practices. I can definitely fill time. I can take a crack at an update to the title and abstract today to see if we can draw some more people to the session.
