Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) Support - Initial phase
The internal REC CAP Polling system will now monitor the FEMA IPAWS endpoint for Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) and on a temporary basis, the test data endpoint for WEA. Data from each endpoint will have a unique alert type code in order to distinguish between test and live WEA.
Validation of this functionality cannot take place until alerts are received either in the live or test data endpoints. When the code is validated, we will remove the query to the WEA test endpoint and purge the database of all test alerts.
