Tornado warning, Smoke\Fire Alarm warning, Earthquake
warning, Flood warning.
What type of warnings are in your community?
Are they tested so everyone is familiar with the visual and
audible alarms?
|
The
international standard Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) helps societies greatly improve emergency alerting.
If you are
not familiar with CAP, here is
a 15-minute video from the recent UN-led disaster reduction
conference.
Anyone interested in emergency alerting is welcome to
participate in the free 2019 CAP Implementation Workshop (17-18 Oct 2019, in Mexico City).
If you have CAP implementation experiences or insights to share,
please let the Workshop Program Committee know (by e-mail to me: eliot.j.christian@gmail.com )
that you want to give one of the 20-minute presentations.

ability to see things differently from everyone else, and from finding answers
to problems that are not bound by the phrase 'we have always done it this
way.' " Wayne Rogers
