Introduction & Problem Description
The complexity and difficulty of emergency communications among 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.

3
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

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 TimeContinuous Improvement Built In
Includes After Action Analytics
Currently not Planned, but Needs to be Done—Fits Game Approach

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.

Service Description Key to Usability
EDXL Can Keep It Simple.One Specification = One Service.
Service Description Should Clearly Define What it Can Do.Also What it Can’t Do.
Having Different EDXL Specifications-Services Provides Flexibility and Adaptability.Jurisdictions can Pick & Choose as Needed.

Summary: Emergency Services
Each EDXL Specification is Basis for One Emergency Service.
Playbook Approach Provides Step by Step Aid for EDXL-Based Emergency Communications.
Will Capitalize on Single Structure for all Services.
All Communications use EDXL-DE.
Single COP Unifies Interfaces to Individual Services.
Will Satisfy both NCOIC and OASIS EM TC Purposes.
Uses NCOIC Principles.
Provides EDXL Training Platform.
There are Engaging Challenges on Both Sides.
