From the meeting
SDPB is developing a statewide Next Generation Warning System (NGWS) strategy with the Department of Public Safety and the Bureau of Information and Telecommunications. The plan would modernize broadcast, microwave, EAS/IPAWS, and datacasting infrastructure instead of building a separate network. The state is pursuing FY2026 grant funding, so this is a funded public-safety modernization effort with implementation work still ahead.
