EMWIN
The Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN) is a system for distributing a live stream of
textual observational and forecast information, including a limited number of cloud and radar images. The new EMWIN, labeled EMWIN-N, began being upgraded in 2009. The upgrade continues through 2011 to ready older GOES satellites to provide a higher speed of 19.2 kbit/s.[1]
The data broadcasts are monetarily free with both local rebroadcasts and satellite feeds. EMWIN via Twitter may be done by anyone to spread information on all types of emergencies to virtually unlimited numbers of people in real time also.
EMWIN weather data is primarily transmitted over
GOES 17

On February 13, 2017 it suffered a service disruption.[citation needed]
