[Esip-disasters] FW: Draft of FIA public warning guidelines (v0.6)

Wed Jun 18 10:32:12 EDT 2014

This "Common Alerting Protocol" addresses an important part of the disasters enterprise architecture addressing information content and dissemination services. CAP provides a common mechanism for pushing somewhat standardized alerts through internet media, like Google an Conversant which monitor news feeds to automatically disseminate warnings in the alert area. Such warnings are initiated by official sources (the WMO and ITU maintain an international registry). Knowing what form the end user alerts will take should be helpful to the Earth science community interested in producing actionable products for those official sources.

Dear Francesco Gaetani,

Please review and comment on the attached draft of voluntary Guidelines being developed by the Federation for Internet Alerts when communicating emergency warnings to the public (see http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/amp/pwsp/documents/OnlineMediaCAP_Final.pdf )

The intent here is to converge on Guidelines that represent a broad consensus among major online media that are now getting involved in public warning, as well as key international bodies that have a defined role in aspects of alerting or particular hazard threats.

This document is working draft 6 of version 0; no further drafts are expected through June.

Thanks!

Eliot
