Raffaela Cefalo, Simone Maver, Claudia Paparini GeoSNAV Laboratory Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture University of Trieste, ITALY cefalo@dicar.units.it http://www.dicar.units.it/GeosNAV/ Analysis of Alert Messages formats for Environmental Disaster Management
Disaster Management • Risk knowledge • Systematic collecting of data relative to the events • Risk evaluation • Environmental Monitoring and Alert Services • Development of monitoring systems • Creation of a quick and accurate Alert service at international, national and local level • Diffusion and communication • Maximum alert distribution • Clear and simply Alert format • Answer Capacity • Creation of national and local systems able to front the emergiencies.
Obiectives • Analysis of the format to be used for the Alert Messages • Make the alert message available on mobile devices.
CAP – Common Alerting Protocol: • Simple ad general format based on XML for the exchange of Alert Messages on every kind of network • Permits the creation of Messages: • To be distributed on different Alert Systems • To be used to normalize the information coming from different sources.
Functionalities • Flexible Georeferencing – models based on: • Latitude/longitude • 3D Geospatial representation • Messages transmission • Multilanguages and • with multiple targed users • Validation and time out of messages
Functionalities • Messages cancelling/updating functions • Models for the definition of complete and valid Alert Mesages • Compatibility with systems based on digital signature • Support for digital images and audios
Requirements of the realised prototype • Management and extraction from an XML document. • Independency from the execution platform. • Visualization on mobile devices.
Applied Technologies • Java Micro Edition System Development Kit 3.0 Management and information extraction from a XML document • kXML Library
Conclusions and future developments • Management and extraction of informations from a XML document. • Independency from the execution platform. • Execution and visualization on a mobile device. • Future developments: • Correct management of multiple occourencies. • Selection of the resource containing the messages. • Complex graphycal visualization of the informations contained in the messages.
