Members of the Emergency Management TC,Â
I am sharing this alert from Dr. Carol Cosgrove-Sacks about the global call to action on emergency alerting using CAP and the webinar on it being held as part of the WSIS Forum 2022. I didn't know that this was underway so I thought I would share it to be sure you all see it.Â
Best,Â
