章节大纲

    • This is a self-directed course that should only take 30-45 minutes to read through. However, the ultimate outcome for this course is for you to draft an implementation plan for publishing a CAP alert feed for your organization. That task will take considerably more time. It will involve reviewing your organization’s current alerting tools and processes, assessing how to update those to include CAP, identifying the resources needed for the update, and developing an implementation plan. To help you with that process, the course includes several iconAction Items, suggested activities that support the drafting of an implementation plan. The products of those Action Items will not be collected or graded; they are for your own use. 

      CAP imageIf your organization does not have an existing alerting system, your task will be significantly more involved as you’ll need to develop the processes and protocols related to issuing hazard alerts. Doing so is beyond the scope of this course. Consult with existing regional Alerting Authorities for input on best practices. 

      While this course is being developed through the World Meteorological Organization in support of national meteorological and hydrological services, it has a broader utility. CAP is designed as a standard for all-hazards, all-media alerting; it is not restricted to hazardous weather alerting. While some examples and documents used in the course are WMO-related, they have universal applicability for planning and implementing CAP-enabled alerts.
