Friends,
Per our discussion on the last call, below is my abstract for the CAP workshop report. We have 200 words to work with, and this is 197. Norm can add the titles and links for the two ETL docs. We may be over but I'll cut or ask forgiveness.
Please review/comment/respond by CoB Nov 3.
Elysa Jones is chair of the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee (EMTC). She noted that EMTC emphasizes global collaboration and the continued importance of CAP for all types of hazard types and dissemination methods. She explained that the EMTC meets monthly and oversees voting-level EMTC Subcommittee work. She also mentioned several other EMTC products: Emergency Data Exchange Language Distribution Element (EDXL-DE), Hospital Availability Exchange (HAVE), Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP), Resource Messaging (RM), Situation Reporting (SitRep), and Tracking of Emergency Clients (TEC). There are two active ETMTC Subcommittees that meet on a bi-weekly basis: the CAP Subcommittee, the Reference Information Model (RIM) Subcommittee. There are two main work products of the CAP-SC: The Mobile Alerting Practices (MAP) Committee Note for documenting the details for mobile alert dissemination. There are currently submittals for United States, Canada, France, Netherlands, Germany, and Romania. The other activity in the CAP-SC has been the development of two Committee Notes on the OASIS Event Terms List. These two documents are ready for public review through Jan 31, 2026 (insert correct names and links). Elysa concluded by inviting EMTC participation by anyone interested in supporting the work of the OASIS EMTC to contact her.
Thanks,
Elysa
