[CAP] CAP Based Alert System : TACAPASS - An Automated Tsunami and NOAA Text2Speech Alerts SW Package

[Curt Jutzi]

----
Description on the web page is as follows :
----
The TACAPASS system is an automated SW stack, written in both Java
and \bin\bash shell scripts which currently run on a RedHat 9.0
Linux IRLP (Internet Radio Linking Project - www.irlp.net ) node.
Its purpose is to automatically broadcast Tsunami and Weather alerts
from NOAA as they occur for a given region within the United
States.

This application is directed at Amateur Radio Operators in the
United States of America who are operating an IRLP node.
TACAPASS leverages the CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) XML based
format which can be found at incedent.com. It acquires these "cap"
files from the NOAA website, parses the CAP XML file and presents it
to a few automated scripts that run on the base IRLP node platform.
When relevent information is retrieved, the system pushes the
modified description to a text2speech solution called flite provided
by Carnegie Mellon University.

The runtime and description is available at the following URL:
