    20 The said workshop is one of the activities under the UNESCAP funded project called “Cap on a Map”. Philippines now joins Myanmar and Maldives, which were from the beginning in the project.  It aims to augment the capacities of the national agencies for issuing early warnings using a multi-agency all-hazard/all-media approach and improve the response capacities of Philippines as a participating country by improving the situational awareness at the time of a disaster. It is being proposed to develop and operationalize a CAP (Common Alert Protocol) enabled [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Deployments/SAMBRO Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker] ('''SAMBRO''')  platform in order to provide location specific alerts/warnings and integrate all the stakeholders through a common information exchange hub for better coordination at the time of a disaster.[[br]][[br]]
