Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a service
to provide content feeds from web sites that contain article headlines,
summaries and links back to the full article from that web site. RSS is
an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears
on your favorite websites. Instead of visiting a web site to browse for
new articles and features, RSS automatically notifies you when something
new is posted online all through your downloaded news reader.
What is CAP?
Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a simple
but general format for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public
warnings over all kinds of networks. CAP allows a consistent warning
message to be disseminated simultaneously over many different warning
systems, thus increasing warning effectiveness while simplifying the
warning task. CAP also facilitates the detection of emerging patterns
in local warnings of various kinds, such as might indicate an undetected
hazard or hostile act. CAP provides a template for effective warning
messages based on best practices identified in academic research and
real-world experience.
