Outstanding

On Sept 19, Ken Marshal contacted CanOps on the status MASAS and inquired on opportunities there might be to consume and publish incident data for TC.

See if there has been a response

On Sept 20, Jon Bailey contacted our technical contact and noted that the ESRI services hadn’t seen an update since January. They are looking into it.

Update when there is a response. (replied, still investigating)

ESRI service is working again
