PAGASA is implementing the "[https://sahana.io/2015/02/05/cap-on-a-map-kickoff/ CAP on a MAP project] that will bring about improving institutional responsiveness to coastal hazards through cross- Agency situational-awareness”. The project involves the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand and the Sahana Software Foundation, USA. [[br]][[br]]

The main goal of the project is to augment the capacities of the national agencies for issuing early warnings, especially using the Common Alerting Protocol all-hazard all-media interoperability standard. Accordingly, the Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker (SAMBRO) has been customized for the Philippines to augment the capabilities of the Philippine Alerting and Emergency Management Authorities for improving the coordination their response to alarming events.[[br]][[br]]

With the SAMBRO System successfully installed in PAGASA, we are planning to apprise the system to the relevant agencies and stakeholders in the Philippines. The workshop and training from .... to .... will train a set of warning related resource persons form selected agencies.
