The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary
Expert: Eliot Christian Title of the Session: The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary Societies around the world are engaged in a profound revolution in emergency alerting. Enabled by uptake of the international standard Common Alerting Protocol, all manner of communications networks can now be leveraged to get alerts to everyone who needs them, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. With these new capabilities, it is clear that many lives can be saved and livelihoods protected as emergency alerting becomes more available, more precise, more reliable, completely secure, and as fast as it can be. Context Getting Public Warnings to People Online To help disseminate public warnings, alerting authorities have long relied on commercial media, such as newswires, broadcast radio and television. Television stations insert "crawl text" with the warning message; radio stations insert a recording. This public-private collaboration has required huge investments in specialized technology. Now people are using cell phones and online media more and more. Do societies worldwide need a new round of huge investments in specialized technology to get warnings to all these people online? Actually, huge new investments are not needed. Online media and alerting authorities already developed ways to get warnings to cell phones and people online, at minimal cost. The Hazard App developed by the Red Cross Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) is one example. As part of the Universal App Program, GDPC partners with Red Cross and Red Crescent national societies to develop First Aid and Hazard alerting apps.

App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems
App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems he average driver today is an avid smartphone app user, and most want to use some, or all, of these apps in the car. However, most consumers find using their smartphone in T their car while driving distracting; 82% of new car buyers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China told IHS this in its Connected Car consumer survey. Controlling smartphone apps via the car’s human machine interface (HMI) does not eliminate all distraction problems, but is certainly an improvement. The solution is smartphone app integration software platforms, which are now so plentiful that two hands are needed to count the various contenders. There are basically two ways of doing this: • Modify the smartphone operating system (OS): Makes the smartphone’s OS interface with an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system’s HMI. These are often called screen projection mode solutions or screen mirroring solutions. This will also require specific middleware on each infotainment system that uses this variant of smartphone app integration. This middleware will implement restrictions on what content can be shown while driving to reduce driver distractions. The main advantage is that there will be minimal or no change needed by the app developers. Typically, this type of solution requires minimal updates by developers to extend their apps to work with these projection mode technologies, through an application program interface (API). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto take this approach. • Create an intermediate app platform: Connects the smartphone to the in-vehicle HMI.

Best Practices on Public Warning Systems for Climate-Induced
Best practices on Public Warning Systems for Climate-Induced Natural Hazards Abstract: This study presents an overview of the Public Warning System, focusing on approaches, technical standards and communication systems related to the generation and the public sharing of early warnings. The analysis focuses on the definition of a set of best practices and guidelines to implement an effective public warning system that can be deployed at multiple geographic scales, from local communities up to the national and also transboundary level. Finally, a set of recommendations are provided to support decision makers in upgrading the national Public Warning System and to help policy makers in outlining future directives.

Downloaded by [University of Liverpool] at 00:53 06 January 2017 DIGITAL SOCIOLOGY We now live in a digital society. New digital technologies have had a profound inﬂ uence on everyday life, social relations, government, commerce, the economy and the production and dissemination of knowledge. People’s movements in space, their purchasing habits and their online communication with others are now monitored in detail by digital technologies. We are increasingly becoming digital data subjects, whether we like it or not, and whether we choose this or not. The sub- discipline of digital sociology provides a means by which the impact, development and use of these technologies and their incor- poration into social worlds, social institutions and concepts of selfhood and embodiment may be investigated, analysed and understood. This book introduces a range of interesting social, cultural and political dimensions of digital society and discusses some of the important debates occurring in research and scholarship on these aspects. It covers the new knowledge economy and big data, reconceptualising research in the digital era, the digitisation of higher education, the diversity of digital use, digital politics and citizen digital engagement, the politics of surveillance, privacy issues, the contribution of digital devices to embodiment and concepts of selfhood, and many other topics. Digital Sociology is essential reading not only for students and academics in sociology, anthropology, media and communication, digital cultures, Downloaded by [University of Liverpool] at 00:53 06 January 2017 digital humanities, internet studies, science and technology studies, cultural geography and social computing, but for other readers inter- ested in the social impact of digital technologies.

Network Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup
Reuter et al. SOMAP: Network-Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup SOMAP: Network Independent Social-Offline-Map-Mashup Christian Reuter, Thomas Ludwig, Timo Funke, Volkmar Pipek University of Siegen, Institute for Information Systems {christian.reuter; thomas.ludwig; timo.funke; volkmar.pipek}uni-siegen.de ABSTRACT Maps, showing the tactical or the administrative situation at any particular time, play a central role in disaster management. They can be realized as interactive map mashups. In addition to classical information (weather, water levels, energy network, forces), they can also be used to present a view on citizen-generated content, e.g. from social media. In this paper we offer insights into how mobile map mashups can assist citizens during infrastructure failures that often occur in large-scale emergencies. Based on a review of approaches and mobile applications from literature and especially from practice, we present SOMAP (social offline map), a mobile app we developed in Android. It offers offline map functionality in terms of (A) pro-active loading and storing of potentially needed maps of the respective area as well as (B) the possibility of exchanging information from social media using Bluetooth. The application was evaluated qualitatively, to gain insights into the potential of such applications. Keywords Map Mashups, Mobile Applications, Offline Maps, OpenStreetMap, Social Media INTRODUCTION The rapid exchange of information is highly important in crisis management to help affected people and to minimize damages. For several years, it has been observed that the use of social platforms in crisis situations has been steadily increasing; for instance during the heavy floods in Germany in June 2013 (Reuter, Ludwig, Kaufhold, et al., 2015).
