A Wiki page for useful information relating to the NeXt Warning System (XWS) project.

The XWS project is made up of several work packages:

• Core XWS - deliver replacement hazard alerting service to provide continuity of service from FWS by December 2022 making our service simpler, faster, more flexible etc
• Extended Direct Warnings (EDW) - separating EDW from our existing Flood Warning System (FWS), reviewing the service we currently provide and make improvements to meet our objectives
• Targeted Flood Warning service (TFWS) - refresh the service ensuring it meets complex (e.g. professional partners) user needs and move existing complex users from FWS to TFWS
• Interactive Voice Response (IVR) - separating IVR from FWS, reviewing the service we currently provide and make improvements to meet our objectives
• Local Emergency Alerts (Cell Broadcast) - implementing for our flood warning service, some Severe Flood Warnings will be sent to using cell broadcast technology so we can warn people on move
• FIM Service Changes - FIM and XWS will continue to work together to review the wider service opportunities and challenges in the light of the new IM/FCRM Strategies and what XWS will enable us to do
