The Public Warning Network Challenge

[Eliot Christian <echristi@usgs.gov>]

The Internet Society is responding to the tsunami disaster
by challenging providers of information and communications
technologies to find ways to improve public warning. The
Challenge is stated like this:

   Collaborative actions are necessary to assure
   that standards-based, all-media, all-hazards public
   warning becomes an essential infrastructure component
   available to all societies worldwide.

The Internet Society invites any organization involved
in an aspect of public warning to endorse the Challenge.
A Web site for expressing such endorsements is available
at http://www.isoc.org/challenge You will notice it does
reference the OASIS CAP standard.

Personally, I would encourage each EM TC organization
member to endorse this.
