The National Weather Service has created a new project called Rapid Prototyping Project (RPP) in order to speed up implementation of the end state Emergency Management Decision Support System. The RPP is intended to provide a direct conduit between website administraters, emergency managers, and developers through rapid turnaround of software. The RPP will concentrate on three major areas: improved interactive tools, improved performance, and additional product definition.
This web site concentrates on the EMDSSuite portion of LDAD. The EMDSSuite provides the external community
interface to the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS). It is integrated into AWIPS as part
of LDAD. EMDSSuite consists of an EMDS Display, a map clipper, a synchronizer, and a configurator to provide
emergency managers with real-time weather information upon which to make decisions.
Details about the online training may be found at the following link:

A training session took place at FSL during the week of June 19, 2000. Details about the training may be found at the following link:
The following sites are participating in the RPP project. As descriptions become available about how each
site is using the RPP, the site names will be linked to additional web pages. The primary site in each region
is prefixed with an asterisk.
