Subject:  EMWIN FTP Logon Changes Effective June 10, 2013

Effective June 10, 2013, EMWIN FTP users must apply for a
username, a password and provide the IP addresses of systems that
retrieve files from the EMWIN FTP server. This change DOES NOT
affect satellite broadcast or ByteBlaster users.

The IP addresses will be used to obtain access to the server.
Users will need to ensure they use a static IP address, one that
remains the same and is not assigned dynamically and therefore
changes between user sessions.  If users are unsure if they have
a static IP address or need to have one established, they should
contact their Internet provider.

After June 10, users will be required to use their new username
and password to continue to retrieve data from the EMWIN FTP
server. It is strongly recommended that users transition to their
new username and password as soon possible to avoid loss of
service after June 10, 2013.

To apply for a username and password or for other questions,
email:

EMWIN is a low cost satellite weather data broadcast service that
provides one of the most resilient methods of receiving NWS
weather information. The service includes warnings, forecasts,
graphics and imagery. The goal of EMWIN is to provide emergency
managers the capability to respond faster to severe weather,
tsunamis and other hazards.
