Unified platform for aggregating emergency services public alerts (API)

VicAlert is a centralised, standards based alert transport platform for Victoria built upon the international Common Alerting Protocol (CAP).

VicAlert aims to unite emergency services distribution of alerts into a common protocol thus enabling a multitude of applications and innovations to be built from the data. These applications and innovations could focus on publishing the alerts cross multiple communication channels (SMS, twitter, web, mobile apps, sirens, etc).

Simple API example to be published shortly.
Code will be place on github in coming days.

It will be cleaned up like the other stuff over the coming days/week. You can see the speaker notes for each slide to see a bit more detail on what we spoke about.
