“…The CAP is a key component in modern emergency alert systems, offering a standardized data format that is essential for broadcasting clear and uniform alerts across numerous platforms [37,38]. Used in accordance with various mandates like the Warning, Alert, and Response Act, CAP plays a critical role in disseminating a range of alerts, including AMBER alerts [39], severe weather warnings, and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) [40].…”

“…Its adaptability and versatility render CAP an ideal choice for integrating The CAP serves as a digital format for the exchange of emergency alert information, ensuring uniformity in alerts regardless of the source agency or distribution platform. A core principle of CAP is its ability to disseminate alerts across multiple channels, covering traditional media such as radio and TV, as well as digital platforms like SMS, email, and social media [37]. This feature guarantees the rapid and consistent delivery of messages across different channels, broadening the scope and effectiveness of vital alerts.…”

The recent advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) technology have played a pivotal role in the development and implementation of an integrated disaster management system aimed at enhancing public safety and refining disaster mitigation strategies through a technologically sophisticated framework. This study explores the application of earthquake early warning systems in conjunction with ShakeMap data, utilizing these tools to swiftly identify regions at the highest risk of seismic damage and thereby optimize emergency response efforts in the most critical areas. The research involves designing and conducting a pilot test to validate the efficacy of an IoT-based service platform, ensuring its alignment with international standards. The pilot test not only encompassed earthquake scenarios and response models but also evaluated the platform's capability to tailor response functions based on regional intensity measures. The outcomes of this study demonstrate the categorization of response types into "automatic opening/closing," "response guidance," and "automation system linkage," highlighting the potential of IoT devices to react rapidly and effectively in seismic events. This underscores the significant role that IoT technology can play in enhancing public safety measures in the face of seismic disaster.

“…There are also EWS and emergency management systems that allow full-duplex digital communication among first response organizations and government agencies during evacuations; e.g., through cellular and private networks [20,29]. However, these systems are usually not available for civilians [31,15].…”

Regardless of the extensive research conducted on large scale evacuations, the instrumentation of these processes still represents an open issue for first response organizations. Self-evacuation of civilians that follow evacuation plans has shown to be feasible as early response to several natural disasters; however, the typical lack of interaction capability of the evacuees with first response organizations and emergency managers, jeopardizes the effectiveness of these processes. This article proposes an IoT-based infrastructure that supports self-evacuation of civilians in mass processes, allowing people to participate as information providers and consumers. This infrastructure is the backbone of an ambient intelligence system used as a bridge between evacuees, first response units and the emergency operation
