  2. What is the WMO Register of Alerting Authorities? • Developed for WMO Public Weather Services • WMO Members can identify their officially recognized alerting authorities • Register has categories of alert messages, plus URL's for forecasts and CAP messages • Aggregators of alert messages and others can subscribe to a news feed to stay current with any changes to the register Register of Alerting Authorities

  4. The Need for a Register • Aggregators and other intermediaries may lack direct knowledge needed to distinguish an authoritative source of alert messages • This lack becomes more critical as alerting makes more use of large public networks • The WMO Register of Alerting Authorities is a reference to address that knowledge gap • Each Register entry asserts that a particular source of alert messages is regarded by a WMO Member as authoritative for particular categories of hazards over a particular area Register of Alerting Authorities

  10. Designating an Editor of the Register • A Letter was sent to all PR’s with WMO in November 2009 describing the Register • Each PR should have responded by designating an “editor” to maintain the Register records for all alerting authorities asserted by the Member • The editor is then approved by PWS and selects a personal password • Each editor should then maintain the Register entries on behalf of the Member Register of Alerting Authorities
