  1. Common Alerting Protocol and NWSchat Robert Bunge Internet Dissemination Officer January 15, 2009 Robert.Bunge@noaa.gov 301-713-1381 x140

  2. NWSChat Status • NWSChat: IEMChat follow up • IM between NWS/Gov’t/Electronic Media • Very challenging policy development • Challenging IT environment • On track for Feb. 2 IOC • IEMChat shutdown at IOC • 1900 accounts/50-60 new per day • Some WFO’s in parallel ops • http://nwschat.weather.gov/

  3. CAP Status • Testing advanced CAP 1.1 products on web • Weekly meetings with partners over several months provided much guidance • Good prototype for NWS CAP profile development • Good prototype/spring board for AWIPS produced CAP • http://www.weather.gov/alerts (V 1.0) • http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/ (V 1.1)

  4. Migration to CAP 1.1 • CAP 1.1 feeds feature: • more detailed pre-parsing of NWS products • ATOM-based index feeds • Use of Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) to describe how files encoded in the XML standard are to be formatted or transformed for display by a web browser • Experimental service since mid-2008 • Public comment period through Dec. 1, 2008 to be extended for additional input • CAP 1.1 feeds to be operational and replace current CAP 1.0 feeds by December 2009 • http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/

  5. CAP Activities • CAP Standard Involvement • OASIS Membership • Technical Committee voting member • CAP profile sub-committee voting member • DHS/FEMA & EAS CAP profile efforts • NWS interest in possible test of CAP over XMPP • Lightweight push using a widely accepted standard

  6. CAP Related Changes Herb White Dissemination Services Manager Office of Climate, Water, and Weather Services Herbert.White@noaa.gov 301-713-0090 x146

  7. HazCollect • CAP is created by NWS HazCollect using: • FEMA authentication and server frontend • non-weather emergency messages (NWEM) input directly by local, state, and Federal civil authorities • NOAA/NWS infrastructure for dissemination • NWEM messages included in NWS data feeds; will transition current parsing technique to direct aggregation in FY10 • NWEM messages also displayed on NWS web page and broadcast on NOAA Weather Radio for relay to the Emergency Alert System (EAS)

  8. Current Activities • Call-to-Action Markers in existing NWS Watch/Warning/Advisory/Follow-up Statements • Enables parsing for discreet CAP Description and Instruction elements • Partner coordination and input in early 2008 resulted in improved markers • Phased implementation announced in 8/5/08 SCN beginning 2/11/09 through approximately 5/15/09 • Info and sample products at http://www.weather.gov/os/ctamarker/

CTA Marker Example WHUS76 KSEW 062143MWWSEWURGENT - MARINE WEATHER MESSAGENATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA143 PM PST TUE JAN 6 2009PZZ130-070545-/O.UPG.KSEW.SC.Y.0211.000000T0000Z-090107T1600Z//O.EXA.KSEW.GL.W.0002.000000T0000Z-090107T1600Z/WEST ENTRANCE U.S. WATERS STRAIT OF JUAN DE FUCA-143 PM PST TUE JAN 6 2009...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM PST WEDNESDAY...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SEATTLE HAS ISSUED A GALEWARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM PST WEDNESDAY. THE SMALLCRAFT ADVISORY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OROCCURING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRESEXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLYRECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFEHARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.&&$$

  10. Timeline • Short term (3-6 months) • Continue current enhancement of web-based CAP feeds • Add discreet Instruction element • Medium term (9-15 months) • Centrally generate CAP messages with WMO “envelope” to be broadcast in parallel with current WMO-formatted products over NOAAPORT and NWWS • Better quality control • Transition from web production of CAP, but continue feeds • Long term (2-4 years) • Native CAP generated by Next Generation Warning Tool with mixed case, expanded character set, and fully populated CAP elements • Generate WMO-formatted products from CAP messages • Disseminate both
