CAP is used globally by organisations that deals with emergency management, meteorology\u00a0and public alerting.\u00a0It is designed for &#8220;all-hazards&#8221;, related to weather events, earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, public health, power outages, and many other emergencies. CAP is also designed for &#8220;all-media&#8221;, including communications media ranging from sirens to cell phones, faxes, radio, television, and various digital communication networks based on the Internet.\u00a0Agencies related to WMO (World Meteorological Organization) use CAP as their standard for communication.<\/p>\n<p>The CAP format is compatible with emerging techniques, such as Web services, as well as existing formats including the Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) used for NOAA Weather Radio and the Emergency Alert System, while offering enhanced capabilities that include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flexible geographic targeting using latitude\/longitude shapes and other geospatial representations in three dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>Multilingual and multi-audience messaging<\/li>\n<li>Phased and delayed effective times and expirations<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced message update and cancellation features<\/li>\n<li>Template support for framing complete and effective warning messages<\/li>\n<li>Facility for digital encryption and signature capability<\/li>\n<li>Facility for digital images and audio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In Italy,\u00a0CAP has been adopted as the official protocol for information exchange by the Department of Firefighters, Public Rescue and Civil Defence (Ministry of the Interior) with two Ministerial Decrees in\u00a02008\u00a0and\u00a02011.\u00a0By doing so, it has been stated that CAP is the only protocol that any emergency organisation that communicate with the Department of Firefighters must use.<\/p>\n<p>CAP is the protocol on which the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jixel.eu\/web\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">JIXEL <\/a><\/strong>family is based.<\/p>\n<h2>The participants<\/h2>\n<p>The Workshop was hosted by the Italian National Fire Corps and co-sponsored by the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the OASIS standards organization, and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The presentation also explained how the WMO Alert Hub (see\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/alert-hub.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/alert-hub.org<\/a>) prototype could be integrated into GMAS. \u00a0Miriam noted that HKO plans to Upgrade SWIC to become an online GIS-enable platform that aggregates, displays and shares authoritative warnings and alerts in CAP format, and to enhance WWIS to become a online GIS-enable platform for official weather observations, authoritative forecasts and warnings provided by NMHSs around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation is available here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/resources\/cap-workshop-2017-wmo-gmas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/resources\/cap-workshop-2017-wmo-gmas<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>IFRC &#8216;What Now&#8217; Service in Collaboration with Google<\/h3>\n<p>Omar Abou-Samra gave a presentation on the new &#8216;What Now&#8217; service being developed by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) in partnership with Google. He explained that the service is a data feed of actionable and contextualized messages on how to prepare and respond to local hazards, designed specifically to complement CAP messages. For example, he showed these &#8216;What Now&#8217; messages for a Typhoon Alert:<br \/>\n1. Prepare to evacuate, and know when and where to evacuate<br \/>\n2. Turn off utilities and gas tanks. Unplug small appliances<br \/>\n3. Never try to drive through flood waters. Turn around and go the other way<\/p>\n<p>Omar said that the messages are based on IFRC Public Awareness and Public Education messaging &#8211; a compilation of evidence-based, concise, actionable information for disaster risk reduction that is customizable to fit local hazards, culture, and context. He also noted that the target audiences of the service are individuals and households; the service intends to cover 20 hazards, 6 urgency levels; and 78 languages; and the service should eventually be available in 192+ countries. He said the &#8220;What Now&#8221; service is available in API form for any network platform utilizing CAP and public alerts.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation is available here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/resources\/cap-workshop-2017-whatnow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/resources\/cap-workshop-2017-whatnow<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>2018 edition<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a02018 CAP Implementation Workshop will be hosted by Hong Kong Observatory, in Hong Kong, about a year from now.<\/p>\n<h2>2019 edition<\/h2>\n<p>There are already two proposals for the 2019 edition: Geneve (Switzerland) and Whitehorse (Yukon, Canada).<\/p>\n<h2>More info<\/h2>\n<p>The report (in pdf) is available at this link:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/sites\/default\/files\/cap-workshop-2017-report_3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.preparecenter.org\/sites\/default\/files\/cap-workshop-2017-report_3.pdf\u00a0<\/a>.
