Subject: CAP v1.2 comments...
The
Alert Message Structure in the CAP appears to have pre-defined enumerations for
many of the data elements. The concern is that these pre-defined
enumerations do not necessarily align with the existing NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1
Appendix 1 Emergency Action Levels (EAL’s) and responses used in commercial
nuclear emergency preparedness. Under emergency situations where the
enumerations do not align with the EAL’s, there exists potential for
IPAWS to communicate messages inconsistent (or interpreted to be inconsistent) with
those already established nuclear power plant emergency alert and notification procedures.
Any inconsistency could lead to miscommunication, conflicting announcement and
notification messages, and incorrect public response. It is
recommended that the CAP data elements incorporate flexibility so that the user
may incorporate their own values or enumerations such that the emergency
message can be tailored to be consistent with already existing announcement and
message processes. |
