Subject: RE: [emergency-adopt-events] Revised Draft Text for Emergency Interoperability Summit Announcement -- for review
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 US govt agencies and organizations to whom we
should reach out. Patrick Gannon President & COO Warning Systems, Inc. +1 256 880 8702 x104 (office) +1 256 468 4055 (mobile) +1 978 458 7478 (home-office) From: Jane 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 Summit: “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
Summit will showcase 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 Management Member
