                State Officials to Hold Workshops on Wireless Emergency Alerting

SACRAMENTO  During a pair of workshops in San Francisco and Los Angeles this month, experts from
government and the private sector will examine current efforts to incorporate wireless and other new
technologies in Californias emergency alerting and warning plans and systems.

The 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. workshops, sponsored by the Governors Office of Emergency Services (OES), the
Lieutenant Governors office and the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC), are scheduled for the PUC
office in San Francisco (505 Van Ness Ave., Auditorium) on Tuesday, August 14, and the PUC office in Los
Angeles (320 West 4th St., Carmel Room) on Tuesday, August 21.

We already possess the technology to install cell phone-based warning systems that can instantaneously
notify anyone with a wireless device of imminent peril, wherever they may be, said Lt. Governor John
Garamendi. Such systems would save lives and help mitigate, or even prevent, horrible tragedies such as the
recent mass shootings at Virginia Tech University.

The workshops are part of a comprehensive effort by OES to explore enhancements to the states overall alert
and warning infrastructure in response to Assembly Bill 2231 (Pavley AB 2231) and the tragedy at Virginia
Tech in April.

AB 2231, which was signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006, recognized the importance
of public-private partnerships in the states efforts to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies
and requires OES to work with government agencies and the private sector to assess the use of existing and
future technologies in alerts and warnings. The tragedy at Virginia Tech prompted Lieutenant Governor John
Garamendi to call for the development of an alert and warning system capable of broadcasting messages to
wireless devices.

In addition to assessing the use of wireless and other technologies, OES is working to upgrade the states
current Emergency Alert System (EAS) and its Emergency Digital Information Service (EDIS) to comply with
the federally-mandated Common Alerting Protocol (CAP). OES is also heading a pilot project aimed at making
EDIS a platform local and state agencies can use to disseminate EAS messages and is working to develop a
system capable of directing emergency alert messages to wireless devices within specific geographic areas.

The protection of lives and property is our utmost priority, noted OES Director Henry Renteria. The
availability of communications systems that are CAP compliant will allow local, state and federal agencies in
California to send out life-saving alerts and warnings through multiple channels, including the EAS and the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administrations weather radio system.

It is critically important that in an emergency, our communications providers do their part to help the public
receive emergency alerts, commented Commissioner Rachelle Chong of the PUC. The PUC is happy to help
bring the telecommunications industry and emergency responders together to build the public-private
partnerships to ensure this occurs.

Added PUC Commissioner Timothy Alan Simon, "My office looks forward to participating in these workshops,
which I hope will design an emergency notification system that is consistent with the protocols that the PUC will
adopt as part its implementation of Assembly Bill 2393.

Additional information about OES Alert and Warning initiatives, including the workshop locations, is available
on the OES Home Page at www.oes.ca.gov.
