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.
