One Source One Message (OSOM)Objectives :
• To provide timely, accurate information to communities regarding fire activities and incidents.
• To establish a single ‘behind the scenes’ website for consumption by CFA and Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) websites.
• To produce warnings and alerts in a clear, concise manner with consistent terminology based on the OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP).
One Source One Message (OSOM)Objectives :
• To provide Victorian Emergency Services Organisations (ESO’s) and support organisations the technical capability of having a single source of information for emergency warnings and alerts.
• To provide Victorian Emergency Services Organisations (ESO’s) and support organisations a simple, intuitive process for producing and distributing emergency warnings and alerts.
• To distribute Alerts and Warnings through standards based channels for receipt and consumption by media and inter-governmental agencies.
Warnings – Pre-OSOM
• Capability to create and issue Alert and Warning messages from field was limited.
• Process was largely paper based and involved faxing to central location for publishing to website only. Faxes issued to media outlets.
• Problems with this approach included :
Currency of message information Relied upon CFA network Public receives information through a number of means Visibility across all incidents was not possible Inconsistent language
• Field issued alert and warning messages.
• Alert/warning messages issued in variety of formats and mediums ensuring greater coverage of the public.
• Visibility across agencies is now possible ensuring greater operational effectiveness.
• Benefits realised :
Smaller latency between intelligence being received and public being informed
Standardised language and message construction/format
Warnings – Now
