Official report of the 2026 CAP Workshop: session 3.15, Alerts for All

The official report of the 2026 Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Implementation Workshop and Training was published on 30 October 2026. The events were held from 6 to 8 October 2026 in Birmingham, England, hosted by the U.K. Environment Agency, OASIS Open and Alert-Hub.Org CIC.

Session 3.15 of the report is IDE's talk, “Alerts for All: making CAP alerts accessible at the source”, presented by Emmanuel Jacq. The report summarises it in these words:

The standard carries the hazard family of an alert in a CAP parameter, so a receiving device can render that family as a distinctive rhythm delivered at the same moment through touch (vibration), light (flashing) and sound.

The report is the Workshop's record of what each speaker presented. Workshop participants represented themselves, and a summary in the report is not a review of the Three Senses Alerting Standard. The draft standard is open for comment.
