WMO, ITU, and OASIS to host CAP public warning workshop in Geneva, 9-10 December 2008
Hi from Geneva,
I think it would be worthwhile circulating the latest Program to the
eGMS. I did draw their attention to the planned CAP meeting earlier in
the year, but the Program would look more appealing now. It would also
be relevant for the major telecomms companies.
Best wishes,
Carol
