Most of the island’s emergency managers have agreed that to warn these visitors (renters, hotel occupants, boaters, campers) on an island wide basis is a job that the County should do. This situation has been exacerbated by the departure of WMVY and the recent bombing incident in Boston. They asked me to come up with an alerting and warning system for our non-resident visitors while they handle the needs of our island residents. I have researched the problem and come to the conclusion that the best way to warn these non-residents is to have them download an app that would allow them to receive these alerts and warnings on their smartphone. This type of app is being increasingly used by other public organizations, including counties to alert the population of hurricanes, tornados, hazardous material incidents, and terrorist incidents. They also use them to inform non-resident populations of evacuation routes, where the shelters are, where to get food and fuel, etc. I would propose the use of the Ping4 app for this purpose When the visitors download the Dukes County Ping4 App, they will receive notices from MEMA, the National Weather Service and from Dukes County Emergency Management. The sending of the Dukes County notices to visitors will be coordinated with the town emergency managers and will be the same as those all-island messages sent to residents by the CodeRed system. Visitors’ will be advised of the availability of the Dukes County App by a poster on the Island Home, magnetic signs on the 15 SSA busses, digital monitor signage on all three terminals, and some coverage on the SSA website. At the airport, Sean Flynn has offered to put a sign in the Baggage pickup area. I would like to publically offer my appreciation to Mark Hanover, Wayne Lampson and Kimberly McHugh at the Steamship Authority, and Sean Flynn at the Martha’s Vineyard Airport for their assistance in providing advertising space for this effort, should it be approved. I have letters of support from the Emergency Managers from Aquinnah, Chilmark, Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and West Tisbury to pursue the Ping4 service for our visitors I would like to start to use of the Ping4 app to warn our visitors this summer, staring as early as possible. The cost of the contract is $2500 dollars the first year, with an option to renew in the second and third year for 3000 dollars each year. This price is special to Dukes County because it includes a very substantial Early Adopter Discount. Additional costs for posters, magnetic signs, and other forms of adveritising would be approximately $1500.00 I initially thought to use my stipend to fund the first year but if other funds can be found, that would be preferable. +-zЗљњ^ b e w x Ќ И Ы o p ƒ Д к ь Я =vxС[hЉЊЬЯмэњ):[З2_`dnr{‚ЄЅЮбд№ёA]^_iЋУФХЦуё+23ќјєј№ј№ь№ь№ь№ш№сш№н№йн№ебеЭЩенеЭенЭнЭнЭнЭнЩнЩйейьйьйьеьеХЭХСХбНЭНйЭнќнќЭќнhP{€hSqїhУ+h|=hWRќh/€hxwh=E6hDч hц~уhц~уhц~уhЊ-phhTeкh™+hƒ/фJ,-њћ­ Ў wxЗИ`aвгдФХ34Ќ§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§Ќ§3ЌќhУ+21h:pЦFтАа/ Ар=!Аа"Аа#а$а%ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No List‚ўOђ‚ м8ЪStyle1< ЦЮњ „ d]џЄV-D1$7$8$H$MЦ џџџџ^„ 5@ˆB*CJ\^JaJphfўOf м8ЪStyle2+„"ЄV-D1$7$8$H$MЦ џџџџ^„"5@ˆB*CJph!!!Ќ џџџџ,-њћ­Ў  wxЗИ` a в г д Ф Х 3 4 Ў ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€Ў š€€3Ќ Ќ Ќ џџЅеДсІе>HЇеDDЈе|=HЉеЌыDЊе<жЋе”GOЌе„ŒD­ефšЎеФ‹DЏеDŒDАеŒDБеœн#ВеTRГеDДеФŒD $zФФЪAAS& x x ~ Ў      !(‹ЩааRZZ2 } „ „ Ў   8 *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€ X” yƒel  Ў Ў !+ЫЫ55opƒƒvxыэњ):[` ` № ё i  š Ћ У Ф с у ё 2 Ћ Ў Ў хxw7 ™+4M"У+=E6|=3%aЊ-pћ(q/€P{€cОм8ЪTeкЦFтц~уƒ/фDчFnєSqїWRќџ@€Ћ Ћ Ќ“”Ћ Ћ Ќ @џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"qˆ№аhВqІВqІ|gPНя Ня !№ааДДr4Ї Ї 2ƒ№HP)№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџЦFт2џџўPurpose: to motivate Mark Hanover to actively support the publication through the SSA infrastructure of the concept of making the visitors to Martha s Vineyard aware of the Dukes County Emergency Management s regional effort to provide alerting and warniValued CustomerValued Customerўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0ˆ˜ ЈДЬифє  8 D P \hpx€фPurpose: to motivate Mark Hanover to actively support the publication through the SSA infrastructure of the concept of making the visitors to Martha’s Vineyard aware of the Dukes County Emergency Management’s regional effort to provide alerting and warniValued CustomerNormalValued Customer2Microsoft Office Word@р- @ЦЇВQЮ@dйZЄГТ@dйZЄГТНя ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0ш hp|„Œ” œЄЌД М ЧфЇ ' џPurpose: to motivate Mark Hanover to actively support the publication through the SSA infrastructure of the concept of making the visitors to Martha’s Vineyard aware of the Dukes County Emergency Management’s regional effort to provide alerting and warni Title ўџџџўџџџ ўџџџ"#$%&'(ўџџџ*+,-./0ўџџџ§џџџ3ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РF  эdЄГТ5€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџОWordDocumentџџџџ4SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ!DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ)CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџqџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
