2016 Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Implementation Workshop
Overview of the CAP 2016 Workshop where 30 presentations were offered. Additionally, Eliot will discuss CAP "alert hubs". An alert hub simplifies access to copies of alerts by aggregating alerts from many different feeds into one URL. Such an alert hub, when operated on a cloud infrastructure, offers high levels of responsiveness, availability, reliability, authenticity, and security. To maximize alerting speed, an alert hub typically also allows alerts to be pushed immediately to the hub from alert sources, and from the hub to subscribers. Please see this link to hisFiltered Alert Hub presentation.
/ Presentation and Discussion / Presenters
Eliot Christian,
Key role in all-hazards, all-media Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) standard
2:50 / CAP Workshop – OASIS
Our discussion continues about efforts to seek consensus on how to code those highest priority CAP alerts that should be sent immediately to all people in an affected area. This priority level of public alerting is known in the U.S. as an "imminent threat", in Canada as "broadcast immediate", and in China as a "red alert". Here it is especially important to converge on a common scheme for coding the type of event (e.g, tornado, tsunami, typhoon). There will also be discussion with findings from the workshop on "Questions of Specific CAP Usage". / Presentation and Discussion / Elysa Jones
