## Program Overview and Goals

**Overview: DM is a Presidential e-Gov initiative for:**
- Providing a single source of access to information and services relating to disasters
- Enhancing the nations ability to cope with all types of incidents through the ability to share information in emergencies
**Program Goals:**** **
- Provide the capability to seamlessly share incident information horizontally, vertically and across disparate systems and devices
- Encourage a culture that promotes and adopts information sharing
- Create a practitioner-driven, public private partnership to produce information exchange standards relating to incident management

## Disaster Management Vision:

-  A ***nation*** better prepared for all emergencies

## Demonstration Overview

- A train derailment will cause a monitor to send information to generate a CAP message
- Rail car monitor will report the accident involving tanker cars
- Sensor network will generate CAP message and send to Maricopa County (Phoenix) Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
- EOC Manager will receive the CAP message from the sensor network
- EOC Manager will create and send a NWEM CAP message via the Disaster Management Interoperability Services (DMIS) backbone to the HazCollect system
- HazCollect will process the NWEM CAP message for dissemination via NOAA Weather Wire System and NOAA Weather Radio

## Demonstration Overview

- Another HOT day here in Phoenix.....

*Excessive heat can cause railroad tracks to “kink.” *

**Notes:**
At this point in the demonstration, I would like to have the Cell phones and EAS alerts go off.  How do we do this/control it?

## Demonstration Overview

**A train in downtown Phoenix derailed close to the Bank One Ballpark.  Tanker car monitors transmit possible damage and chemical leak to a sensor network.  The sensor network automatically sends a report converted to a CAP message to the Rail Company Emergency Operations Center.**

**CAP Message Display**

**Notes:**
Sirens will go off here.

## Sharing Situational Awareness

**The URL in the CAP provides**
**access to critical information**

**Rail Company**
**Emergency Management**

**Maricopa Emergency**
**Management Center**

**HazCollect**

**Emergency**
**Alert System**

**NOAA**
**Weather Radio**

## NWEM CAP Alert Display

- Sample screen shot of a NWEM CAP alert
- NWEM CAP alerts would be displayed in the native format to your software application or device
- Provides critical and actionable information

## NWEM CAP Alert Display

- Detailed information in a NWEM CAP alert

## CAP Operational Concept

- Standards allow this kind of communication between all these various systems and devices because they all adopt the standard

**Tribal/Local/State**
**Emergency Managers**

**HazCollect**

**Emergency Alert System**

**Emergency Operation Centers**

**Alerting and**
**Warning Systems**

**Cellular/Mobile**
**Devices**

**Network**

**DMIS**
**Backbone**

**NOAA Weather Radio**

## Future Standards

- Distribution Element
- Rule based routing and distribution
- Single interface for routing different standards
- Resource Messaging
- Request people, things or supplies
- HAVE – Hospital Availability Exchange
- Information on hospital bed availability

## Agency/Program Deployments

- Current Deployment:
- United State Geological Survey (USGS)
- Auto-generates CAP alerts on any seismic activity over 5.0
- Future Deployments:
- NOAA HazCollect
- Uses to CAP to disseminate non-weather emergency alerts via NOAA Weather Radio and NOAA Weather Wire Systems
- Capitol Area Wireless Integrated Network (CapWin)
- Exchange CAP alerts between law enforcement officials in the Washington, DC area
- Northern Command (NorthCom)
- Facilitate military to civilian communications via CAP
- National Capitol Region (NCR) – Washington, DC
- Create and share Common Situational Awareness across the region
