GETAC Meeting Documents: DSHS Computer Virus & Website Problems

[Guest guest]

> GETAC meeting agendas and meeting documents are developed and ready

> for distribution to stakeholders. A computer virus, however, has for

> the past 24 hours affected several DSHS business functions. E-mail

> function has been restored for the most part, but unfortunately access

> to the Office of EMS/Trauma Systems website by both internal staff and

> external stakeholders is still not possible.

>

> DSHS IT staff are working with our anti-virus vendor to regain normal

> functionality as soon as possible, but I just received an update and

> it doesn't appear as though it's going to happen today.

>

> We apologize for this unexpected occurrence and the inconvenience it

> will cause. When the problem is fixed and our website is once again

> accessible, we'll send out a notice about the availability of GETAC

> meeting documents on our website to all the stakeholder e-groups in

> the usual manner. At the very least, Harrell or I will send out

> an update of the situation tomorrow.

Thanks very much for your patience...
