Worldwide Crisis Alerting Network, Phase II. Task 6. Development of WWMCCS Interface Implementation Concept

摘要

This report describes the resources and steps necessary to implement and operate the WCAN II and also provides a more detailed description of necessary agreements and arrangements than was provided in the Task 4 Report. Pilot system and operating system test procedures are described together with the projected resources required to conduct the tests. In addition, this report suggests future areas for improvement and expansion of the WCAN II system after actual operation has proven the effectiveness of the system. In summary, it appears that the WCAN II can be operational in a relatively short time frame and the costs to implement the system are insignificant when compared with the potential benefits of a worldwide crisis alerting network.
