When lightning strikes!  The Emergency Information Infrastructure Partnership
(EIIP) now  knows all too well how devastating lightning can be.  The server
used by the EIIP Virtual Forum was hit by lightning a few days ago --- and to
make matters worse, the tape backup was in progress.  The EIIP lost the backup
as well as other data on the drive.  The EIIP Virtual Forum is back in business
after a lot of work and the weekly Tuesday and Wednesday 12 Noon EDT sessions
are back online. 

Emergency management supporters of the EIIP Virtual Forum are asked to check
out the site status at http://www.emforum.org/status.htm .  Refresh the page
frequently for current status.  Part of the data lost was all mail lists
subscribers.  Please resubscribe to the mail lists by going to the 'site
status' page (URL given above).  Note: Some mail lists have been consolidated
because of overlaps in discussions.

Another noteworthy change: For the time being, User Accounts and Passwords have
been disabled for Virtual Forum chats.  The EIIP lost all of that information
and rather than ask everyone to recreate accounts at this time, discussions
will be open and participants are asked to login by first and last names at:
http://www.emforum.org .  The EIIP appreciates your patience and continued
support.
