Beyond the Border Action Plan
Page 25: “The second working Group will focus on cross-border interoperability as a means of harmonizing cross-border emergency communications efforts. It will pursue activities that promote the harmonization of the Canadian Multi-Agency Situational Awareness System with the United States Integrated Public Alert and Warning System to enable sharing of alert, warning, and incident information to improve response coordination during binational disasters.”
MULTI-AGENCY SITUATIONAL AWARENESS SYSTEM INFORMATION EXCHANGE
WHAT IS AN ENTRY?• Less than an alert• Reduces over-alerting• Provides an alternative for those who are not
allowed to issue an alert• Use case:
• Issue CAP alert that shelters are open• Identify shelter locations with an Entry, and update
them regularly without issuing alert updates, hourly per location, for example.

AUTHENTICATION CONSIDERATIONS1. We authenticate agencies, they manage
authority.1. We will give them the opportunity to configure user
accounts for their agency. Ex: “Read Only”, “Training Mode Only”.
2. NGO’s must be “endorsed” by a public agency to gain access.
FUNDING• Currently operates a s a federally funded “Pilot”
• Transition to a cost-shared model is currently under study
OWNERSHIP POLICY CONSIDERATIONS• Alternatives have been studied and are now
under review• May be owned and managed by a co-operative
• Every user is a member subject to common “evergreen” bylaws
• “Membership” agreement instead of “Participation” or “Service” agreements
