Hazard Assessment / Risk Identification

Monitoring and Detection Technology - Early

Dissemination Technology Public/1st Responder

Standard Operating Procedures, Policy, Protocols

Legislative Framework

Public Awareness and Education

Localized Requirements

Thresholds of risk and associated alert levels

Requires consideration for at risk and multilingual

Requires Multi-Point and Multi-Media

Requires Weekly and Monthly Testing

Requires Buy-In from all sectors and the public

Needs to be integrated in day to day life

Develop Guiding Policy

Will not activate in an intrusive manner between xxpm

and xx am unless life safety threat/ level 3threat/flashflood/tsunami etc;

Will/will not remove individuals from the SMSNotification System, to be provided by xxx;

Will require approval for activation for non Level 3incidents via approved SOPs;

Next Steps for TMT 2

Help Identify Expert(s) in IT and CAP; Support developing template policy, plans and

protocols;

Recommend scope and schedule of FeasibilityStudies;

Identify 2nd Pilot Implementation Location;

Draft Regional R3I Pilot System of Systems

Diagram; Work with ICG and WMO on identifying synergies

with other regional initiatives/systems; and

Support the work of other TMT 2 Partners as

requested.
