The Pacificโs efforts to strengthen early warning systems and climate resilience continue to gather momentum across the region, namely in Kiribati, Niue and Papua New Guinea.
It follows the completion of the Weather Ready Pacific (WRP) Programme specialised Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) training. CAP is a globally recognised standard and messaging format that enables faster, clearer and more coordinated emergency warnings across multiple communication channels simultaneously.
CAP alerts can be geographically targeted and support the inclusion of maps, images, audio and multilingual messaging to improve accessibility and ensure communities receive timely and actionable information during hazardous events.
Ms. Tarateima Tewareka, Principal Disability Inclusion Officer, Ministry of Women, Youth, Sports and Social Affairs, applauded the training.
"At the beginning, I was not familiar with the CAP system but I now have a much better understanding of its concepts and how it works,โ she said. โI have learned how CAP alerts are developed to issue timely warning messages for different types of disasters, how different hazards can impact communities, and how important it is to design warning messages that are clear, accessible, and responsive to the needs of all people, including persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.โ
