Program Management
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Emergency Education NETwork
(EENET)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), now
an organization under the Department of Homeland Security,
awarded CESSI a blanket
purchase agreement to provide videoconferencing and
production support to FEMA’s Emergency Education
NETwork (EENET). EENET is a one-way video, two-way
audio, and point-to-multi-point, satellite distributed
network. The core network comprises State and local
emergency management; fire and EMS; federal and military;
while the secondary audience is schools and universities,
businesses and industry, cable providers and the general
public. The core audience is estimated at over 50,000
and the addition of the cable industry gives the EENET
the potentially larger audience of more than 31,000,000
viewers.
Under this contract, the EENET plans to produce monthly
broadcasts, provide public information and specific
training for the various EENET viewing audiences, produce
training segments to be used by state and local trainers,
provide up-to-date information to viewers, provide
interactive forums for discussion and implementation
of public policy issues, and provide cost-effective,
quality programming.
The CESSI team provides
a combination of programming, production, and subject
matter expertise as required to meet task requirements.
Current tasks include providing real-time, captioning
services for scheduled EENET broadcasts and conducting
a Section 508 assessment of video products. The assessment
of video products will result in recommendations for
incorporating captioning and audio description in video
products as required under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation
Act.
