Next Steps for the EM TC

• CAP 1.2 – voting as Committee Draft• RIM valueList URN, CAP Identifier• Situation Reporting completion• DE 1.1 requirements• CAP 2.0 update

Emergency Interop Scenario

Emergency Interop Scenario• Train accident with chemical leak

• Train with chlorine tank cars wrecks

• Chemical spill creates chlorine cloud

• Train sensors generate CAP message sent to EOC

• Hazmat Team is dispatched

• Incident Commander requests EAS community evacuation notice

• Local Emergency Operations Center issues EAS via CAP v1.1 wrapped in EDXL-DE, activated via sirens, TV, email, cell phones, radio

• Incident Commander requests more HazMat support via EDXL-RM wrapped in EDXL-DE

• Firefighters suffer injuries

• EM technicians use EDXL-HAVE wrapped in EDXL-DE to determine best medical facility

• Strong thunderstorms threaten area with possible tornados • National Weather Service issues tornado warning via CAP

• Alert target area for tornado displayed via GIS; message sent via CAP with polygon info

• AMBER Alert from a NIEM IEPD is sent wrapped in EDXL-DE
