OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a not-for-profit consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of open standards for the global information society. The consortium produces more Web services standards than any other organization along with standards for security, e-business, and standardization efforts in the public sector and for application-specific markets.
OASIS developed the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) - a simple but general format for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public warnings over different networks. CAP allows a consistent warning message to be disseminated simultaneously over many different warning systems, thus increasing warning effectiveness while simplifying the warning task.
AtHoc is an OASIS Sponsor and an active participant of both the Emergency Management Technical Committee and the recently formed Emergency Interoperability (EI) Member Section. For more information, click here.
