• rmgsc.cr.usgs.gov/nhss

Solution or Workaround

1. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Application\PublicSafetyCOP folder and make a backup copy of all 21 configuration files to a backup directory:
   • Config-Command.xml
   • Config-Plans.xml
   • Config-Logistics.xml
   • Config-Operations.xml
   • Config-PublicInformation.xml
   • config-ESF01.xml (through config-ESF15.xml)
2. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Application\PublicSafetyCOP folder and open all 21 configuration files listed in Step 1 in Microsoft Notepad or an XML editing tool.
3. Find the code section listed here and replace it with the section of code shown in Step 4.
