Lesson 2: Explore the CAP AlertEditor

Follow the instructions here while clicking the links in the CAP AlertEditor window.

Click this link to open a new browser window and access  http://cap.alert-hub.org/
You should see the following:

This is a list of nations that have the opportunity to use this site for authoring and publishing CAP alerts. It contains links to editing tools and to alert newsfeeds. The feeds are mostly placeholders; they display sample alerts. Note that as you explore this site, the list of countries may change and the feeds may become populated with actual alerts or get removed from the list. 

Go ahead and click a few of the feed links. You should mostly see the same six sample alerts in each feed. Use your browser’s back button to return to the main page. Then click the link to the feed for Rwanda: 

(Note: if the Rwanda feed is no longer available, choose a different country's feed)

Here is the feed from Rwanda: 

(Note: this screenshot was taken in March 2019 and may change as new sample or real alerts are added or removed)

Click any alert to view it in detail. Here we see the alert, "Flood warning for Musanze Northern Province, Rwanda (Fri, 03 Apr 2015 13:07:14 +0000)":

Using the browser’s back button, return to the feed and to the main page.
