Monitoring IPAWS OPEN
FEMA has released the information necessary to allow CAP compatible EAS equipment to poll the IPAWS OPEN system. Once equipment manufacturers update and release their firmware for this new system, you will be able to enter the following URL, https://apps.fema.gov/ into your encoder/decoder. However, please note that CAP compatible EAS equipment manufacturers must first provide firmware updates before message polling will work. EAS participants should check their equipment manufacturer’s web sites for information on when these software updates will be available.
