Subject: RE: [emergency] EM Notifications SC Charter (revised)
What are the "Incident Command System (ICS) formats" referenced below? len From: Art Botterell [mailto:acb@incident.com] EM Notification Methods and Messages Subcommittee STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 3 April 2003 At any moment the "operational picture" perceived by each individual and organization represents the accumulation and fusion of various streams of incoming information. The accuracy and completeness of that operational picture, and the quality of the decisions based upon it, depend in large part on the scope, transparency and efficiency of the incoming information flows. And the effectiveness of coordinated effort among individuals and agencies depends in large part on their having access to the same flows of information (including information about each other's status and intentions) and thus sharing a common operational picture. The EM Notification Methods and Messages Subcommittee will address procedures and formats for exchanging new and updated information related to functions including public safety, emergency response and homeland security. LIST OF DELIVERABLES The EM Notification Methods and Messages Subcommittee will undertake three immediate projects: ... Review and refinement of contributed work from the Common Alerting Protocol Working Group; ... Design and development of an Incident Notification message format; and, ... Development of a core set of messages to support the National Incident Management System mandated in Homeland Security Presidential Directive #5 and based on established Incident Command System (ICS) formats. In the course of developing these deliverables, the Subcommittee will draw on the expertise of the GIS and Infrastructure Subcommittees. In addition, the Subcommittee will make recommendations to the full Technical Committee regarding education and outreach activities involving end-users.
