In its 3rd joint workshop with the Indonesian public broadcaster, RRI, top DRM experts will explain how the DRM standard supports and provides a fully integrated disaster and early warning service called Emergency Warning Functionality (EWF), thus saving lives.
The workshop “DRM Emergency Warning Functionality – EWF for Indonesia” will be held on Thursday, August 1.
During the workshop speakers will explain how the already demonstrated and ready to use DRM-EWF can automatically wake-up DRM receivers and inform the general public (and relevant authorities) in Indonesia and elsewhere about the impending disaster.
The Indonesian and DRM experts will also detail use cases of EWF (including in Indonesia), how DRM receivers can present visual and audio alerts and introduce the stages that the authorities and the broadcasters need to go through for the successful adoption and integration of DRM-EWF into the national alert infrastructure. The speakers will explain how digital DRM receiving platforms in the house, on mobiles, in cars and outdoors can alert the maximum number of people in the affected areas as promptly as possible, thus saving lives.
Speakers will include RRI specialists, the representative of the Indonesian disaster agency, DRM receiver manufacturers and technical experts.
