BACKGROUNDThe Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a standard for alerting, designed for any media, to communicate information about any kind of hazard situation to anyone. The use of CAP can enhance how organizations coordinate and disseminate alerts. In the past, early warning systems were integrated with the WMO World Weather Watch (WWW) , the programme for facilitating the development, operation and enhancement of worldwide systems for observing and exchanging meteorological and related observations. Hence creating a more enabling environment for Members to publish and exchange standardize warnings. The WMO Information System 2.0 (WIS 2.0), the framework for WMO data sharing in the 21st century which supports the WMO Unified Data policy, the Global Basic Observing Network (GBON) makes international, regional, and national data sharing simple, effective, and inexpensive. To promote CAP, it is important to provide a reference implementation of a WIS2 node that is able to share CAP messages in real-time through the WIS 2.0 infrastructure. A consultant is required to support this integration of CAP into the WIS2 in a box software to provide such a reference implementation that can be used by Members and private sector to implement systems creating and sending alerts in real-time.      📚 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯! 🌍🤝 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗡 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗡𝗛𝗖𝗥, 𝗪𝗙𝗣, 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗙, 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗦𝗦, 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔, 𝗜𝗢𝗠 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀! 🌐
