Support for “Broadcast Immediately” Alerts Policy / Rule This policy sets out how the NAAD System will identify alert messages recommended for immediate broadcast September 22, 2011 1.0 [replaced March 11, 2011 Draft for Discussion] See also Attachment A: SOREM Alert Messages defined as “Broadcast Immediately” & NAAD System Test Message Policy V 1.0

Senior Officials Responsible for Emergency Management (“SOREM”) has established a definitive list of Alert Message types recommended for immediate broadcast by last mile distributors based on a list of CAP-CP event codes and their respective CAP severity, urgency and certainty values. Based on this list and as approved for implementation by the Pelmorex Alerting Governance Council, the NAAD System will include the addition of a “flag” within each individual info block contained in an Alert Message. The “flag” will indicate whether the Alert meets the criteria for immediate broadcast as established by SOREM. The “flag” will comply with any CAP/CAP-CP requirements and is set out below. Where the alert meets the “broadcast immediately” requirements, the following will be added: layer:SOREM:1.0:Broadcast_Immediately Yes In all other cases: layer:SOREM:1.0:Broadcast_Immediately No Test Messages intended for distribution to the public will also be given a “yes” value. Trusted Feeds will be expected to follow the same protocol. This approach will allow equipment vendors and any participating Last Mile Distributor to easily identify high priority alert messages which meet the voluntary standard for immediate broadcast. The NAAD System User interface must be modified to require NAAD Users to make a positive affirmation that the message is intended as recommended for immediate broadcast before the alert can be issued. Support for “Broadcast Immediately” Alerts: Approved September 22, 2011
