6 | | User story: |
7 | | * A an emergency response agency learns of an imminent disaster say a Tsunami, and the following are the steps they take up: |
8 | | * In Eden's CAP interface the operator chooses the CAP Profile for their region |
9 | | * He then chooses a CAP Template specific for Tsunami |
10 | | * He then edits the blanked out fields in the template (for example, area description, severity) and also sets a few flags (these are provided as per the CAP 1.2 specification) |
11 | | * He will then optionally attach files (eg. containing pre-decided evacuation instructions etc) and also add a few more language templates and edit them |
12 | | * He then sends the CAP Alert as a "Public" alert which everyone subscribed or added in the contacts is notified about |
13 | | * Since CAP is an XML standard it can be easily picked up by automated systems and required actions maybe performed (eg. Sirens) |
