Sahana Software Foundation and the Asian Institute of Technology Geoinforamtics Center in collaboration with the http://pagasa.dost.gov.ph/ Philippine Atmospheric, Goelogical, and Astronomical Services Administration] is organizing a workshop in the Maldives. It is primarily to kickoff the CAP-on-a-Map project aiming to improve institutional responsiveness to coastal hazards through multi-agency situational-awareness. The project is made possible through funding by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission of Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP); specifically, the ESCAP Trust Fund for Tsunami, Disaster and Climate Preparedness.
The project will span over 18 months and will develop capacity to implement the all-hazard all-media Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) interoperable risk communication standard along with the associated operating procedures. Instrumental to the project is the Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker (SAMBRO) software that will be implemented at a National level for managing the sharing risk information across all relevant risk management agencies. The workshop will bring together alerting authorities, emergency first-responders, communications service providers, and other relevant organizations in the Philippines to participate in the workshop. The day long event will take place on May 11th, 2015 at the TBA, Manila. It designed to foster a discussion between the project implementers and the emergency communication system users towards determining the optimal strategies and activities for operationalizing the Sahana software-enabled multi-agency situational-awareness platform.
