ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L


Alachua County Weather Information Network
Local Civil Emergency Bulletins: Alachua County

===================================================================

LIST PURPOSE

Welcome to the ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L listgroup!

This list is for the distribution of local civil emergency-related bulletins only. No posting/discussions allowed.

The ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L list was created to aid in the dissemination of SEVERE weather-related bulletins and announcements to the residents of Alachua County. The listgroup is subdivided into numerous "topics" to choose from - each "topic" relating to a specific bulletin that can be turned on or off at your own command. A list of the available bulletin topics is further below.

(NOTE: We tried to create the lists without the "-L" in the listname but the powers that be insisted, unfortunately.) :o(

SUBSCRIPTION INFO

To subscribe to ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L, simply send an e-mail to listserv@lists.ufl.edu using the following single-line syntax in the message BODY (the subject may be left blank):

SUBSCRIBE ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L firstname lastname

Thus, if your name was `John Doe' you would send the following to listserv@lists.ufl.edu:

SUBSCRIBE ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L John Doe

AVAILABLE TOPICS

Here are the "topic" areas that are now available to choose from within the ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L listgroup. First is the topic name (which happens to also be the bulletin abbreviation), followed by the bulletin name.

  • ADRJAX: NWS Administrative Message *
  • AVAJAX: Avalanch Watch **
  • AVWJAX: Avalanch Warning **
  • CAEJAX: Child Abduction Emergency
  • CDWJAX: Civil Danger Warning
  • CEMJAX: Civil Emergency Message
  • EQWJAX: Earthquake Warning ***
  • EVIJAX: Immediate Evacuation Warning
  • FRWJAX: Fire Warning
  • HMWJAX: Hazardous Materials Warning
  • LAEJAX: Local Area Emergency
  • LEWJAX: Law Enforcement Warning
  • NUWJAX: Nuclear Power Plant Warning
  • RHWJAX: Radiological Hazard Warning
  • SPWJAX: Shelter-In-Place Warning
  • TOEJAX: 911 Telephone Outage Emergency
  • VOWJAX: Volcano Warning **

* For some reason, NWS-JAX and many NWSFO's are making it a deliberate habit to ignore the accepted bulletin name standards for emergency messages and are instead resorting to placing ALL of the above emergency-related bulletins into the ADR bulletin instead, making the bulletins appear in an unexpected place that many EMWIN systems aren't looking in or expecting to have to set up for. It is extremely confusing and a exasperating for EMWIN server admins who are trying to do what we're trying to do, here, and who have to try to come up with ingenious, unorthodox workarounds to still get them out. However, I will still keep these bulletins on ACTIVE status in the odd event that someone actually changes their mind, or makes a "mistake", and actually sends one out using the PROPER bulletin ID.

** This event is not really evver likely in out area. We don't have mountains, per se; we don't have large rocks; we don't have snow. We don't have ski facilities. We CERTAINLY don't have any volcanoes. Therefore, this bulletin will remain INACTIVE.

*** While this event is not COMMONLY likely in our area, we ARE at the southern edge of a Georgia fault line; and on very rare occasion, earthquakes - usually petty minor - HAVE occurred. One in recent past years was even felt here in Gainesville, FL and did shake homes. Therefore, I have decided to leave this bulletin in the list as an ACTIVE bulletin.

All new users are automatically subscribed to the following topics, by default: (ALL). However, you can turn any of them OFF if things seem to get just a little too "busy" for you.

ADDING OR REMOVING TOPICS

SUBSCRIBING TO A TOPIC:

If ever you wanted to subscribe to a topic, you'd simply send an email to the UF listserver (again, at listserv@lists.ufl.edu. Ignore the subject line. You don't have to type anything into it at all.

In the BODY of the email, type the following:

SET ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L TOPICS +ADRJAX

The above line would subscribe you to the "ADRJAX" topic, which is the "NWS Administrative Messsage" (which we recommend everyone subscribe to due to a problem mentioned above*).

And you can subscribe to more than one topic at a time, too. If you wanted to subscribe to ALL of the available topics within the listgroup, you would send the following command:

SET ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L TOPICS: ALL

(NOTE: All new users are automatically subscribed to all civil emergency bulletins by default when they join the listgroup.)

You can subscribe to multiple topics at once in a single command:

SET ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L TOPICS: +ADRJAX +CAEJAX +CEMJAX

This would subscribe you to the three topics ADRJAX, CAEJAX, and CEMJAX.

UNSUBSCRIBING FROM A TOPIC:

To unsubscribe from any topic, you'd do it all in reverse.

SET ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L TOPICS: -ADRJAX

...would unsubscribe you from the SVRJAX topic.

SET ACWIN-FL-ALACHUA-CIVIL-L TOPICS: -ADRJAX -CAEJAX -CEMJAX

...would unsubscribe you from those three topics.

LIST OWNERS

This list was created on July 23rd, 2009 by Todd Sherman/KB4MHH (acwin@alachuaskywarn.org).

Todd is the Coordinator of Alachua County SKYWARN, which he also founded in August of 1996 (twelve years ago as of 2009). Alachua Co. SKYWARN is a program created to teach the public about the dangers of severe weather and how to identify and report it properly to the authorities.

Todd is also the Founder and Project Manager of the Alachua County EMWIN Project (created in 2002). AC-EMWIN is basically a satellite ground station which main purpose is for gathering the latest weather bulletins from the GOES-10 weather satellite, and to redistribute those bulletins locally to the public at no cost as a public service. We distribute the bulletins in abbreviated form to cellphones, pagers, in full form to personal email, web pages, and on rare occasion even to some FAX machines. Another one of the distribution methods is via this and other listgroups. And we DO this...at NO charge, in service to everyone: civlians, businessmen, students, teachers, doctors, lawyers, police, fire/rescue, reporters...it doesn't matter.
