OASIS is pleased to announce the first international workshop and demonstration/exhibition focusing on standards for public warning which will occur on 19-20 October 2006 in Geneva, Switzerland. This program has been designed to build upon the results of the earlier ITU-T Workshop on Telecommunications for Disaster Relief that emphasized the practical application of standards for public warnings. The workshop will review the work by Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) in related areas; identify standardization gaps and discover collaboration opportunities for key players from both the public and private sectors. In addition, the two-day workshop will feature an emergency management interoperability demonstration of the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) OASIS standard, as well as presentations and exhibitions by various players active in public warning.
