Introduction & Problem Description The complexity and difficulty of emergency communicationsamong jurisdictions and between jurisdictions and the public require a balance between timeliness and completeness within the variety of messages (alerting, logistics, situational awareness, etc.) for rapid and accurate decision making. NCOIC Emergency Services Operational Pattern for OASIS Emegency Management TC
Why EDXL? Breaks Down into Appropriate Types of Communications (e.g. EDXL-CAP for Alerting, EDXL-Resource Messaging for Logistics, EDXL-HAVE for Hospital Availability Snapshots, etc). Each Emergency Communication Type Becomes a Distinct Service in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Ecosystem. Uses EDXL-DE for Routing all Emergency Communication Types for Consistency, Reliability & Trust/Security NCOIC Emergency Services Operational Pattern for OASIS Emegency Management TC
Playbook Approach • Step by Step Walkthrough of Incident • Shows What Service Needs to be Deployed at each Phase of an Incident • Uses SOA Ecosystem Paradigm in Easy to Understand Pragmatic Communications • Builds on User Experience over Time • Continuous Improvement Built In • Includes After Action Analytics • Currently not Planned, but Needs to be Done—Fits Game Approach NCOIC Emergency Services Operational Pattern for OASIS Emegency Management TC
One Structure for All EDXL-Based Emergency Services NCOIC Emergency Services Operational Pattern for OASIS Emegency Management TC
Net-Centric Principles Explicitness—Emphasize Clarity & Precision Ubiquity—Use Technologies with Wide Acceptance Dynamism—Emphasize Adaptability Globalism—Use Terms & Data that’s Understood Widely Relationship Management—Speak to your Audience’s Interests Pragmatism—Emphasize What Works. Entity Primacy—Emphasize the Functionality of the Service. NCOIC Emergency Services Operational Pattern for OASIS Emegency Management TC
