Background
This document presents selected results of GAO�s Web-based survey of emergency management directors in
all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We conducted this survey to collect information on state
and local alert capabilities, including the extent of compatibility standards usage; state and
local participation in the Federal Emergency Management Agency�s (FEMA) Integrated Public Alert
and Warning System (IPAWS) pilot projects; state and local communication and coordination with
FEMA regarding the IPAWS program; and challenges, from the state and local perspective, to
developing and implementing an integrated alert and warning system. A copy of the survey and
selected results can be viewed by clicking on the table of contents at the bottom right of this
document. We received completed questionnaires from 46 states and the District of Columbia
for a response rate of 92 percent. This document presents results from all closed-entry
survey questions but does not include narrative responses that we received.
