Abstract

Information logistics are a central part of any early warning system (EWS) because warning messages and information are delivered to target groups with individual requirements, different levels of understanding, distinct perceptions and varying personal abilities. Nevertheless EWS architectures often neglect the importance of information logistics. Therefore, a database model as an architectural base layer of information logistics for geospatial EWS to disseminate customized messages in a multilingual environment is developed, providing a generic approach to be applied to each EWS. The database model is based on two recently introduced standards for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public warnings over all types of networks and sharing systems among emergency information systems, the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Emergency Data Exchange Language-Distribution Element (EDXL-DE).
