Protocol (CAP) Workshop with Presentation on Artificial

Everbridge kicked off the two-day workshop with a presentation
on The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Emergency Warning. The
prototype presented is a key result of a European Horizon 2020
research project and is being developed with careful consideration
of the evolution in the European regulatory environment, notably
the “AI Act.” The Act, passed by the European Parliament in June
2023 with an overwhelming majority, ensures AI systems used in the
European Union are safe, transparent, traceable,
non-discriminatory, and environmentally friendly.
“With emergency services and disaster relief operations often
stretched beyond capacity, we now look to AI technology to find
ways to automate crisis response and deliver resources faster and
more efficiently than ever,” said Morten Seliussen, VP of
Engineering at Everbridge. “Artificial intelligence and machine
learning have accelerated to the point where they can make accurate
predictions, automate decisions, and trigger lifesaving actions. We
are looking forward to sharing our experience with the Common
Alerting Protocol and showcasing new approaches to AI-powered
technologies at the annual CAP Implementation workshop.”
The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is defined as a simple but
general format for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and
public warnings over various ICT networks, allowing a consistent
warning message to be broadcast simultaneously over many different
warning systems, thereby increasing warning reach and
effectiveness.
While 85% of the world’s population live in a country with at
least one national CAP feed, developing nations have lagged behind
other countries in their adoption of CAP. This gap inspired the
Call to Action on Emergency Alerting, endorsed by the Workshop
participants as well as the International Federation of the Red
Cross, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction
(UNDRR), and World Broadcasting Unions (WBU), among others.
Workshop participants will also hear presentations focusing on
CAP implementation in various nations – including Canada, China,
Egypt, Germany, India, Italy, East Timor, Zambia, and Zimbabwe – as
well as from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), which
will provide updates on the UN Early Warnings for All Action Plan
that builds on the worldwide CAP infrastructure.
In addition to its participation at the 2023 CAP Implementation
Workshop, Everbridge serves as an active institutional member of
both the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and
the UNDRR Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies
(ARISE); takes part in the European Union research and
innovation program Horizon 2020; and joins standards bodies,
government agencies, and NGOs in endorsing the Global Digital
Compact assertion that “timely warning of life-critical emergencies
is essential to public communication services.”
