Privacy-aware and distributed system design for personalised alerting

This paper presents a concept for the privacy-friendly generation and distribution of personalized emergency alert messages. Based upon a discussion of possible benefits of alert personalization in disaster situations, relevant target groups for personalized alerting and their respective information requirements are identified. Subsequently, different system design approaches will be discussed, with emphasis on client-centric versus server-centric personalization, ansynchronicity and interoperability. A design concept will be presented which also facilitates the integration of additional alerting functionalities on smart phones.
