Editor's Notes
- Existing Problem - Different emergency services publishing alerts - Different ways people connect/consume
- A Solution - Centralised Format API - Uses CAP format (international standard) - Unifies all agencies - Allows innovation through accessible data - Let developers, private companies develop or integrate the data into applications
- An interactive map mashup - Allows citizens to enter their location or where possible its HTML5 location aware - Shows alerts within the citizens area - Highlight severity - Showing alert radius area using Google Maps polygons - It integrates simply with VicAlert using the API discussed previously
- What VicSafe could look like for instance
- Critical Aspects - Internationally agreed standard (CAP) - Centralised, easy to access platform for storage and distribution of data (alerts) - Centralised does not mean single point of failure though, this platform can be distributed to handle load, etc - Google team suggested PubSubHubBub technology to manage load - Both of these build the foundations needed for innovation - Once you have data in an common and open format - Have this and the next RHOK event you'll be blown away
