Subject: RE: [emergency-adopt-events] Revised Draft Text for Emergency Interoperability Summit Announcement -- for review
Thanks Patrick – very good edits. dee From: Patrick Gannon
[mailto:pgannon@warningsystems.com] Jane, Thank you for all of
your work on preparation for the fall EI Summit. I just now have
finally had time to read through your draft of 12 June. While I am all in
favor of crisp, pithy title, I feel that the abbreviated sub-title loses some
important information. You have cut it
from: “Demonstrating
Emergency Response Coordination through Open Data Standards” To: “Coordinating Response through Open Standards” As has been stated
before, In the Emergency Management arena, many of the government (fed, state,
local) people and first responder people view interoperability as referring to
the issue of interoperability of radios using different frequencies for
transmission of voice dialog. Thus, it is important to emphasize that
this event is focused on the issue of DATA interoperability. Thus, I
would suggest that the word “data” be added back into the sub-title, so it
would read. “Coordinating Response through Open Data Standards” Also below: 1st
para: why make a negative reference to a “fractured market”. We
should emphasize the emerging market of interoperable solutions. See
edits below. Also, I added some Patrick Gannon President & COO Warning Systems,

Harnad [mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Hello Everyone –
below is the latest version of our fall event announcement. Please review
and forward comments, as well as send around to potential members of the
audience. Kind regards, Jane Emergency
Interoperability “Coordinating
Response through Open Data Standards” 29 & 30
September 2009 This fall, OASIS will be launching
the FIRST ANNUAL “Emergency
Interoperability Summit”. This event, hosted at the (TBA facility), will
take place on the 29 & 30 of September 2009. The At this event, industry experts will
demonstrate that there is much to be gained from The
OASIS Emergency Management standards will be l
the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP),
an Open Standard for Alert and Warning Messages in any medium; l
the Emergency Data Exchange Language
(EDXL) Family, a set of Open Standards for Emergency IT that provides a a
Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) Specification that makes packaging and
distributing any kind of Digital Emergency Communication Payload or set of
payloads possible in a uniform way; a Resource
Messaging (EDXL-RM) Specification that provides the means for a uniform method
of arranging and accounting for logistical operations that allows responders to
do their jobs while the resources are managed as automatically as possible; a Hospital
AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE) Specification that provides the means for a
uniform method of reporting a snapshot of available healthcare facilities,
equipment and personnel during emergencies; and, work is
underway on a Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Specification that will provide
the means for a uniform method of reporting critical information for EM
decision making in the most timely way. It's an exciting time to join a new
kind of movement and community dedicated to continuously improving Emergency
Management throughout the entire lifecycle of emergency incidents: l from
planning and preparations through l response
operations and l remediation
operations to l after-action analysis and
evaluation leading to a new cycle of l improved
planning and preparations and so on. It's a great time to join the
community and start making a difference. OASIS and the Emergency
