Update 4: The SWAS Support blog on Twitter is now open. Please use this link, and we will respond to you ASAP. Bumping up formal release date by three days just in order to set up tsunami and volcano reports, as well as adding a few more states.
Update 3: The planned 39 states are now up and running. More cities will be added tonight and on a continuous basis. The website and the initial launch have been pushed up one day as communications, (RT's and replies) are already coming in. All cities and states are now wired to track DM's and replies. The new priority is to have a twitter blog up and running by tonight so we can communicate back without interfering with the streams of the other accounts. Will post link when ready.
The remaining states will be added, but we are really trying to fine tune things for them as the majority of them are located in the Tornado belt. There is a bug appearing on some cities and states where only a broken link appears. Those are not actual warnings or updates, just a broadcast ping that says basically "nothing happening right now". That will be fixed but it is just not a high priority right now.
Update 2: All states that are running now have their feeds all cleaned up and ready for launch. Working now on cities, remaining states and waiting to see how changes have affected GSWAS feeds.
Update 1: Beginning to tighten up the feeds one at a time. Removing as much of the non-emergency related reports from streams on states. Starting to add cities and limiting feeds to at most 2 hourly observations from 2 separate locations. Warnings on cities will be limited to any emergency alert available for only the county it's located in.
Earthquake reports (Potential Tsunami Warnings) reporting on GSWAS is now limited to quakes reporting over 7.0. Still working on direct Tsunami feed. Once these are stable these feeds will be added to States where the threat is considered high, until such time as a Tsunami network feed is available.
39 states and a minimum of ten major cities scheduled to be fully operational by Monday Morning May 4th. This website is slated to be fully operational late Sunday evening. Full monitoring of replies and Dm's will be delayed until later next week with the exception of the top 12 states in population, which are tracked now.
