The world's first Open Source Emergency Warning System Dissemination Dashboard
The EWS4All initiative calls for:
Every person on Earth to be protected by early warning systems within by 2027.
We will help to achieve this goal building and certifying OpenEWS - the world's first Open Source Emergency Warning System Dissemination Dashboard.
OpenEWS is intended to be used by Governments and/or NGOs acting on behalf of Governments to disseminate warning messages to beneficiaries in case of a natural disaster or other public health emergency.
OpenEWS is:
- 👯♀️ Aesthetically Beautiful
- 🧘 Easy to use
- ញ Localizable
- 🛜 Interoperable
- 💖 Free and Open Source
- ✅ DPG Certified
In order to deliver the emergency warning messages to the beneficiaries OpenEWS will connect to Somleng out of the box. Somleng (Part of the Somleng Project) is an Open Source, DPG Certified, Telco-as-a-Service (TaaS) and Communications-Platform-as-a-Service (CPaaS).
Local Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can use Somleng to deliver EWS messages to beneficiaries on their networks via the following channels.
- 📲 Voice Alerts (IVR)
- 💬 SMS
- 🗼 Cell Broadcast
The infrastructure directory contains Terraform configuration files in order to deploy OpenEWS to AWS.
The infrastructure in this repository depends on some shared core infrastructure. This core infrastructure can be found in The Somleng Project repository.
The software is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
