Situation Awareness B. Rapidly deployable PMR systems C. Warning the population 6 PWS in Chinese Taipei Construction Map CBS Program • Goals: – Applying Cell Broadcast Technical Service provided by LTE mobile operators to deliver disaster alerts for emergency management – Defining CB framework of alert delivery process, operation procedures and technical specifications. • Outcomes: – Implementing mobile operators’ Corporate Social Responsibility and public-private partnership by jointly setting up CBS – Enhancing efficiency of emergency operation at national level 8 Promoting Policy of Phase 1 • Setting up Alert Aggregator – Standardizing formats and protocols of public alerts – Sharing information on a open data NCDR has been platform carrying out a – Promoting applications of public project during disaster alerts 2013~14 • Establishing Alert Gateway – To build up Cell Broadcast Entity – To define specs for Public Warning System by CBS – To specify regulatory assessment 2015~16 to set documents on PWS up CBS – To promote EAS-CAP industry union EAS: Emergency Alert System CAP Promotion in Chinese Taipei 2013-2014 • Develop Common Alerting Protocol- Chinese Taipei Profile – Encoding specifications – Location-based warning • Develop NCDR alerts platform – Integrate Disaster alerts thorugh a open data platform – Provide various data transmission services • Promote adoption of standardized alert information – Encourage industry, government and academia value- added application – Host CAP APPs contest 10 Common Alerting Protocol- Chinese Taipei Profile • Reference international alert standard – OASIS CAP(Common Alerting Protocol) v1.2 – ITU-T X.1303 “Common Alerting Protocol” • Develop relevant parameters according to our nation – Chinese Taipei 's disaster event category – Chinese Taipei 's geographic coordinates and township code – Alert issue agency code CAP CAP CAP NCDR Alert Platform • Standardizing formats and protocols of public alerts • Sharing information on a open data platform • Promoting applications of public disaster alerts Alerts Typhoon, Torrential rain Earthquake, Tsunami Disaster Information Disaster warning query Open Data Platform Debris flow ATOM service Reservoir discharge, Web alert unit flood, water level rise Closure or interrupt of CAP highway Server check Receive process PUSH Operation suspension of railway service Operation suspension of high speed railway Classes canceled Social media sharing 12 Open Data Website • NCDR combines 7 departments, DGPA, CWB, SWCB, WRA, THB, TRA, THSRC, 12 kinds of CAP alerts • Released a total of 13 kinds of real-time map layers 13 Platform Users • Over 100 Industry, government, academia and personal APP developers apply for alert data • Google Public Alert starts / Google Crisis Map/ Google Now in 2013/07/10, using our service Promoting Policy of Phase 2 • Setting up Alert Aggregator – Standardizing formats and protocols of public alerts – Sharing information on a open data NCDR has been platform carrying out a – Promoting applications of public project during disaster alerts 2013~14 • Establishing Alert Gateway – To build up Cell Broadcast Entity – To define specs for Public Warning System by CBS – To specify regulatory assessment 2015~16 to set documents on PWS up CBS – To promote EAS-CAP industry union EAS: Emergency Alert System Future Work 1. Collaborate with central and local government to release alerts according to CAP-TWP and use CBS for public warning 2. Promote EAS-CAP collaboration in Chinese Taipei . 16 THANK YOU! 17.
