    OASIS Members and other interested parties,

    OASIS is pleased to announce the approval and publication of a new
    Committee Specification by the members of the <tc name> TC:

    Emergency Data Exchange Language Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Version
    1.0
    Committee Specification 02
    06 October 2016

    What is EDXL SitRep and why is it important?

    The XML-based Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Situation Reporting
    specification describes a set of standard reports and elements that can be
    used for data sharing among emergency information systems, and that provide
    incident information for situation awareness on which incident command can
    base decisions.

    This is an OASIS deliverable, completed and approved by the TC and fully
    ready for testing and implementation.

    TC Description:

    The Emergency Management TC creates vendor-neutral and platform agnostic
    standards for organizations and agencies to more easily exchange emergency
    information.

    The Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) is a broad initiative to create
    an integrated framework for a wide range of emergency data exchange
    standards to support operations, logistics, planning and finance.

    This draft specification joins the other EM-TC standard efforts including:

    - EDXL Common Alerting Protocol (EDXL-CAP)
    - EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE)
    - EDXL Hospital AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE)
    - EDXL Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM)
    - EDXL Reference Information Model (EDXL-RIM)
    - EDXL Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep)
    - EDXL Tracking Emergency Patients (EDXL-TEP)
