Committees

The OASIS EI Member Section oversees the work of the:

OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee
This Technical Committee enables information exchange to advance incident preparedness and response to emergency situations. Its subcommittees include:

  • Notification Methods and Messaging: Focused on the exchange of alerts, notifications, and incident related messages, which not only include various types of informational broadcast, but also electronic ICS (Incident Command System) form representation.
  • Geospatial Information Systems: Working to ensure each TC-related specification has the proper geospatial capabilities to allow a GIS to leverage our formats. Additionally, the group is responsible for providing guidance for filling GIS-related gaps within the existing emergency and incident standards.
  • Infrastructure Framework: Providing identification, research, and guidance on various standards, both developed in and external to the TC, as related to emergency and incident management with the purpose of ensuring elemental compatibility with current and future systems and communication mediums.

The EI Steering Committee welcomes suggestions for forming new Committees in this arena. Contact OASIS member services for more information.
