Currently, there is no connection from the NWS EMWIN system into the CIP facility. NOAA is working to facilitate this connection in the near future. The purpose of the exercise is to validate the ability to failover the ESPC network to the CIP system and the ability to switchback the ESPC network to the NSOF facility after an approximately six (6) hour duration. The Facility Backup Exercise will begin at 8:30am EST and products should begin distributing from the CIP system by 9:00am EST. The CIP site, at Wallops Island, VA will be the operational ESPC system for a total of eight (8) hours.
