The WAG welcomes Juvare's new President and Chief Executive Officer - Rajib Roy. We thank Bob Watson for his years of support, hard work, and dedication to the company and our group. Members recently had the pleasure to hear Rajib sharing his vision for Juvare moving forward at a WAG webinar.

What is the BoardScript library? It is a collection of JavaScript functions which can be utilized in much the same way as calling the WebEOC API, albeit in a slightly easier to accomplish manner. If you have delved “under the hood” of a board developed by Juvare staff, you will undoubtedly have seen the use of some of the BoardScript functions. In this article and succeeding ones I will attempt to describe their use, and, for clarification, may also provide examples. Follow me through this series to take your board functions to the next level - a great resource for both novice and advanced board designers.

Connecticut has partners utilizing our system from 169 municipalities, two tribal nations, state agencies, as well as a myriad of health, education, utility, and volunteer/aid organizations. We have no true county government structure remaining but are probably the size of one of your counties – Rhode Island, Delaware, and D.C., excluded. We do have a regionalized emergency management and homeland security coordinator structure for providing support to our partners. This article is one of a three-part series: Training Desk References and Transitioning to Virtual Platform Delivery, Setting up the Virtual Basic WebEOC Training Class, and Modules and Focus Areas for Basic WebEOC Training.

The Ukraine invasion has the world on high alert. While we may not worry so much about Russian tanks and artillery in this hemisphere, there is another weapon in their arsenal that is a realistic threat. If you’ve been reading my articles the past few issues of WAGging Tongues, you may already know where I’m heading. I’m talking cyber attacks...Is your agency prepared to face such a challenge? Do you have a Cyber Response Annex to your CEMP? If not, you’d better get cracking. Preparation is essential to a proper response and recovery. Your plan can be as basic, or complex, as need dictates. Its basic components are defined in six steps we’ll examine in this article.

Local and state governments in Washington State have cooperated on a new resource request board that moves requests with one click between EOCs and ensures that only one EOC works on a request at a time. Users click an ‘escalate’ button to move a request to another EOC or a ‘revert’ to send it back. If you are familiar with Process Permissions, you are probably thinking that’s what this is, but you’d be wrong. Our requirements made Process Per-missions hard to implement. Instead we used plain filters. In this article, we highlight some background, requirements, and design efforts.

In my 40+ years in the IT industry, many buzzwords and strategies have passed my ears (some even stuck on the way through): Mainframe, devolved processing, clustered processing, high availability, thin client, fat client, client/server...

The list goes on and on and on.
