SRP - Standard Response Protocol

STA has adopted The “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). The Standard Response Protocol (SRP) is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. Like the Incident Command System (ICS), SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.
The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.

Subscribing to Calendar Feeds

To subscribe to a calendar on your mobile device, select the gray "Feeds" icon on the top right of the calendar area. The Calendar Feeds window will appear as a pop-up.

You can subscribe to all Public calendars on the page by selecting the first ICAL button. From here you will select the type of feed based on your device. The easiest way to subscribe is to select the third option of "Add to Default Calendar App". Your calendar on your device should open and auto-populate the feed. Select subscribe.

If you want to acquire the Google ICAL feed or get the feed URL select one of the two options and the following will show up in the pop-up window.

Click in the box and copy the URL to your clipboard.

Once you have copied the feed URL, add it to your device in the "Settings" menu to automatically track any updates to the calendar.

Paste in the iCal feed URL that you previously saved to your clipboard.

Your device will verify the feed URL and add it to your calendar. Subsequently, new events will automatically populate in the Calendar app.
