Be prepared...

Friday, April 8 2011

The U.S. Government may shutdown at midnight (EDT) today 8 April. If this occurs then the NGS website and associated services, OPUS, UFCORS, CORS ftp servers, etc. will be made unavailable. To try and minimize disruptions when the US Government shutdown ends, automated retrieval of CORS data from contributing agencies will continue. Only minor problems will be resolved, due to the limited available staff during the shutdown.

Please contact Giovanni Sella at giovanni.sella @ noaa.gov if you have any questions.

I would bet that the FEMA website will be the same. Haven't seen a press release from them.

LOL

Data streamed from a CORS to a computer accessed from a computer is shut down.
What a crock of crap.
Maybe I read that wrong

They could save a lot more wasted money by shutting down DHS & TSA.
