February 20, 2019	National Risk Management Center Fact Sheet The National Risk Management Center (NRMC) is housed within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The NRMC is a planning, analysis, and collaboration center working to identify and address the most significant risks to our nation’s critical infrastructure. The NRMC works in close coordination with the private sector and other key stakeholders in the critical infrastructure community to: Identify; Analyze; Prioritize; and Manage the most strategic risks to our National Critical Functions — the functions so vital that an attack or interruption to services within the government and the private sector could have devastating consequences to our national security, economic security, national public health and safety, or any combination thereof.

February 19, 2019	WEA - Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Wireless Emergency Alerts Understand and Respond to Public Sentiment The Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) service has been in use since April 2012, and there is a growing base of commercial mobile service subscribers who receive WEA messages. Therefore, it is an opportune time to assess to the public’s sentiment towards WEA and improve the communication of information related to the alert. Public sentiment towards WEA messages can be assessed by analyzing user discussions in online (e.g., news, blogs) and social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook) platforms. View resource publication
February 19, 2019	WEA - Optimizing Ability of Message Receipt by People with Disabilities In 2014, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate funded the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), Center for Advanced Communications Policy to examine and report on how to optimize Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) message receipt by people with disabilities. Reaching people with disabilities, including the deaf and hard of hearing, with WEA messages is critical, in part because people with disabilities utilize and depend on wireless devices, including mobile phones at more than 96 percent. Their devices become even more important during emergencies. View resource publication
February 19, 2019	WEA - Modeling Cognitive Response to Wireless Emergency Alerts to Inform Emergency Response Interventions Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are a critical mitigation measure employed during emergencies to inform and keep the public safe. Research on WEAs and disasters conducted by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Advanced Brain Monitoring (ABM) has found that individuals perceive the threat of floods differently than other types of disasters on a physiological level within the frontal lobes of the brain. This difference occurs both when subjects are told they are about to watch a video about floods and when they are watching or reading alerts about floods. The perceived urgency of floods also appears to be more sensitive to the personality characteristics of individuals than during other types of disasters. View resource publication
February 19, 2019	WEA - Training Data Sets of Risk Communication and Perception The goal of this project is to characterize risk perception and response to a designated hazard. View resource publication
February 19, 2019	Wireless Patient Vital Signs Monitoring Device Operational Field Assessment This test report documented ViSi Mobile’s value in improving basic life support medical care. ViSi Mobile achieves its goal of reducing entanglement and eliminating the need to constantly connect and disconnect to different vital signs monitoring systems. It also possesses the potential to continue to grow and improve to incorporate additional future capabilities such as defibrillation. View resource publication

February 19, 2019	Chicago LTE Video Pilot Final Lessons Learned and Test Report Chicago Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a video pilot program funded initially by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC). For the effort, OIC partnered with Purdue University’s visual analytics center of excellence and OIC public safety partners: the Chicago Office of Emergency Management & Communications (OEMC) and the Chicago Police Department (CPD). The pilot tested the viability and performance of using the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) to transmit video to law enforcement vehicles—providing a proof of concept for CPD to deliver video to officers in order to enhance response and increase real-time situational awareness. OEMC and CPD installed one LTE cell in Chicago’s District 7 and outfitted approximately 15 officer vehicles. Public Safety Information Technology (IT) Officers were used for this early test effort.
