Announcements

The EM TC is pleased to announce that it will be at the 74^th IAEM Conference November 6 – 12, 2026. The Theme for this year’s conference is “Charting Through Preparedness; Anchored in Resilience. To register tap here. 

This year the EMTC presents a full-day Training Session Sunday, November 8, 2026: The Modernized Alerting Workshop: The New CAP Occupancy Alerting (CAP-OA) Profile. 

The EMTC presence builds upon The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) the world-wide standard for sending alerts and shows how the new profile, CAP Occupancy Alerting (CAP-OA), enables the inclusion of occupancy information critical to proper allocation of emergency resources.

The EMTC will present and demonstrate:

• How to upgrade Your Alerts for Occupancy - Today!
• How to Rapidly Improve Emergency Response with Limited Resources
• Watch a Demonstration of CAP-OA in a Realistic Earthquake Emergency

• See the Emergency Management Framework (EMF), a prototype Reference Implementation of CAP- OA and other Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) solutions,
• Learn what to look for in vendor tools for improved interoperability and resilience

The EMTC at IAEM aims to show how using EDXL helps improve not only response to alerts, but also resource management, situation reporting, hospital availability and tracking of emergency patients.

Attendees will learn to incorporate CAP-OA successfully.

The goal is to show how to make your organization more resilient to change immediately and moving forward; to future-proof yourself and your organization in the face of rapidly changing technology. We aim to show how you can help your organization work more effectively with other local, state, national and international partners?

Up to the minute Occupancy data is critical.

The OASIS Open Emergency Management Technical Committee is pleased to announce their participation in The 2026 CAP Implementation Workshop. It will be 7-8 October, 9-5:30 BST, at The Priory Rooms. The Workshop follows CAP Training on 6 October, 9-5:30 BST, at the same venue.

The U.K. Environment Agency, the OASIS Open standards organization, and Alert-Hub.Org CIC  are hosting the 2026 Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Implementation Workshop.

The International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) is a sponsor.

There is no charge to participate. For those who cannot participate in person, Webinar call-in instructions will be sent to everyone registered. Click here to register.

CAP Implementation Workshops focus on emergency alerting enabled by OASIS CAP standard: International Telecommunication Union Recommendation X.1303. At the Workshops, implementers of CAP and other associated organizations discuss common issues and how to leverage the expanding adoption of CAP.

Today, 97% of the world's population lives in a country with at least one national CAP feed operational (90%) or in development (7%). CAP implementation by country is seen in this zoomable map or the smaller scale map below.

There will be 20+ presentations in the Workshop Programme , selected from responses we get from our Call for Participation.

Hello SATIS Technical Committee, 

Please take a few minutes to review the Consolidated wish list that was uploaded a few weeks ago, as the meeting will largely be on this topic. 

Jacob Westfall reported that the OASIS Open Emergency Management Technical Committee (EMTC) booth at the 2024 International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) Annual Conference Nov. 15-21 2024 in Colorado Springs, Colorado was set up with banners and handouts on the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL).   Jacob, Chair of EM CAP TC, noted that the focus of our participation for 2024 was the 20th anniversary of CAP. The booth also had party hats and pins available that were very popular.

The audience for this conference was fairly regional to Colorado and western States, with more government and military attendees than previous years.  Jacob did notice there were more alerting devices and hands-on demos this year compared to previous years.  In addition to speaking to those who stopped by the booth, Jacob also visited every exhibitor who uses CAP in their products and services to take a "birthday" photo with them to promote their use of the CAP standard. A selection of those exhibitors is shown in the photos that follow.

As previously announced the preaward subcomittee meetings will resume this afternoon:

On October 23, 2024, the OASIS Open Emergency Management Technical Committee celebrated 20 years of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) at this year’s CAP Implementation Workshop by sharing birthday party cake with attendees.

https://groups.oasis-open.org/higherlogic/ws/groups/aca4a7b8-5c48-48f0-b87c-018dc7d3efaa/download/72390/latest

In August the latest working draft was released.

The CAP Workshop Programme is complete, with our Speakers addressing 23 topics. Each of several presentations will present CAP-enabled emergency alerting at an alerting authority in a particular country. These include Brazil, France, Malaysia, Mexico, and Sierra Leone.

For a more complete update, see the latest information here.

Following the 20th CAP Anniversary Celebration in this year's CAP Implementation Workshop, the EM TC continues the celebration at this year's Annual Conference of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM). The EMTC will have booth #1003.

The EMTC booth will be attended by the Emergency Management Common Alerting Protocol Subcommittee (EM CAP SC) Chair Jacob Westfall. This highlights the 20^th CAP Anniversary activities, including recent work on the CAP Event Terms List Committee Note and Event Terms List User Guide, and the Mobile Alerting Practices Committee Note.

The meetings of the pre-award technical meeting are cancelled today and next week.  They will start again on 25/09/2024

Welcome to the 20^th Anniversary of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) becoming an OASIS Open Standard in October 2004!

As of this writing, 87% of the world’s population lives in a country with at least one national-level CAP news feed.

This was the culmination of years of work on sharing information among various stakeholders. Initial development of CAP was spearheaded by the Partnership for Public Warning (PPW) in response to lessons learned from the terrorist attack on New York on September 11, 2001. This event, and the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 that killed 238,000 people, highlighted the crucial need for better ways to communicate emergency alerts.

Through Eliot Christian’s efforts along with Elysa Jones, Chair of the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee and members, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approved CAP in 2007 as their ITU-T Recommendation X.1303.

In 2006, the first CAP Workshop was hosted by ITU. Soon, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Organizations (IFRC), the United National Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), and many other international organizations, NGOs, and commercial companies embraced CAP as the essential standard for emergency alerting. With the leadership and evangelism of Eliot, CAP became known worldwide and CAP implementation by national governments was growing at 8% per year. The Call to Action on Emergency Alerting launched in 2021 with the goal to reach 100% by 2025. This was adopted a year later as an Outcome of the UN Early Warnings for All initiative.

In challenging times with increasing severity and frequency of disasters, CAP helps countries to save lives and livelihoods, using a simple all-hazards format for emergency alerts that can leverage all available media. CAP serves as a model of worldwide collaboration, and everyone is invited to join in further advancing emergency alerting over the next 20 years. 

Get involved in this incredible work by reaching out to OASIS at https://www.oasis-open.org/join-a-tc/or email  join@oasis-open.org or contact Elysa Jones at elysajones@yahoo.com for more information.

We look forward to celebrating this monumental birthday event at the CAP Implementation Workshop in Leuven, Belgium October 23-24, 2024, co-hosted by Traveler Information Services Association (TISA), Alert-Hub.Org CIC, the US Agency for International Development (USAID), OASIS Open, and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

We are excited to announce that UBL 2.4 has been officially approved as an OASIS Standard.

For more information, please visit the following links:

• UBL 2.4 OASIS Standard: https://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.4/UBL-2.4.html
• Download All Resources: https://docs.oasis-open.org/ubl/os-UBL-2.4/

The NetDev 0x18 Conference, scheduled for July 15-19, promises to be a hotbed of innovation, with several exciting presentations lined up. Three papers, in particular, are expected to be game-changers in the world of AI networks and protocols and have a close connection to our work on the Infrastructure Data-Plane Function (IDPF) spec and driver.

The first paper, "The Future of AI Networks: Advancing TCP with Device Memory and Collective Communication," focuses on the evolution of TCP to support Collective Communication (CC) semantics. This initiative, originally introduced as Devmem TCP by Google, is a game changer in the AI network landscape. The paper focuses on Device Memory TCP network performance enhancements, similar to GPU Direct RDMA, for AI workloads. The authors will share their implementation strategies and provide updates on their progress, along with detailed performance data and future collaboration topics.

The second paper, "PSP Crypto Protocol and HW Offload," presents PSP, a security protocol that incorporates lessons from experiences with currently deployed L2, L3, and L4 crypto protocols. Developed and implemented by Google, PSP is engineered for scalability and avoids storing an explicit Security Association (SA) for incoming traffic. Instead, it dynamically generates the ingress key on the NIC using a device master key and the SA Security Parameter Index (SPI) found within the packet. This paper is a preview of a new capability that will be integrated in the IDPF spec and driver in the future.

The third paper, "Introduction to Falcon Reliable Transport," explains Falcon, a hardware-offloaded reliable transport that works with RDMA to solve RoCEv2 issues. Introduced by Google, Falcon is designed to meet the demands of workloads that require high burst bandwidth, high message rates, and low latency. The paper will detail the connection setup, key exchange, and integration with the rdma-core/ibverbs framework, along with proposed extensions to support advanced features. Falcon Reliable Transport leverages the newly defined interface for iRDMA from within IDPF.

Collectively, these papers signify a leap forward for AI networks, offering cutting-edge solutions to the complexities of network communication protocols, security, and reliable transport, all while building upon the IDPF standard's foundation. The NetDev 0x18 Conference is set to be a significant event, showcasing advancements that will shape the AI network landscape. For more information on the conference, including abstracts for these and other offerings, please visit the NetDev 0x18 Conference website: https://netdevconf.info/0x18/index.html.
