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
4
Disaster Management Vision:
A nation better prepared for all emergencies
5
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.”

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.

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

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
13
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
