Re: [earlywarning] Finishing the Charter Text Discussions

["MUSGROVE, CHARLES P (ATTCINW)" <[e-mail]>]

Europe is looking at a warning system based on the 3GPP Public Warning System (PWS) based on cell broadcast. They are studying the US-based CMAS as a model for their PWS with a long-term goal of supporting PWS for international roamers (among European countries as well as to/from US/Asia/elsewhere). The Netherlands is already moving toward implementation of a cell broadcast-based system.

In Europe they are working toward a Pan-European alerting and warning
infrastructure with full interoperability. However, I am not sure at what
level in the "stack" this work is being done - perhaps more at the higher
levels in the application arena. I do not see discussions on L2 or CMAS or
whatever. The European programs are initially being funded as part of the
FP 6 and 7 initiatives. Check out ORCHESTRA
(http://www.eu-orchestra.org/), GMES/SAFER
(http://www.emergencyresponse.eu/site/FO/scripts/myFO_accueil.php?lang=EN)
and SANY (http://www.sany-ip.eu/). SANY is interesting because the focus
is on integrating sensor alerts into a modeling, warning, and alerting
infrastructure.

Similar activities are occurring in Asia, such as Debris Flow Monitoring
and Alerting in Taiwan, Tsunami Alerting in Indonesia, and earthquake
warning in Japan.
