RANET Servers (receive messages and process to ensure security, backup, and place in appropriate SMS format)

Commercial Gateway (near ‘global’ coverage where cell phone or satellite phone services exist)

RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts RANET – ITIC - PTWC Tsunami Alerts SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging SMS/Cell Phone Text Messaging – 1 Mar 2005– 1 Mar 2005

What the SMS system IS NOT:

- Not meant to replace existing and formal/official means of communicating alerts or critical information.

- Not meant to become the sole means of receiving critical alert information – warnings and communication should come through a ‘layered’ approach.

- Not meant to be mass-public communication system for national official / disaster managers, international organizations needing to be notified

- Coverage: Africa, IO, Pacific, Central America- Pilot - contact l.kong@unesco.org, raw-sma@ranetproject.net

Sea level Station Web Service

Concept: Web Services = - Integrate information - Open standards (e.g., XML) - Use Internet backbone.

Information exchange without exposing data owner’s system - self-describing docs / interface

- Establish XML schemas, - Push data out to, - Pull data in (multiple provider databases), - Transform, push out in multiple report formats through central client server
