Major Modified the content for 5.3.3
terms that are multi-word terms that use a modifier to classify an event by scale rather than distinguish the event from another event by its nature (i.e., “gale force winds” and “hurricane force winds” are derived terms based on a level marker). However, the terms “chemical fire” and “forest fire” would be accepted separately as the nature of the two events are quite different. Therefore, the terms “gale force wind” and “hurricane force wind” are not considered for the OASIS event terms list, but the term “wind” is acceptable. NOTE: Communities, such as marine based communities, are welcome to establish a set of terms and codes for scale based terms with the recommendation that those generally narrower terms be mapped to the closest more general OASIS term (and associated event code). Originators of CAP messages for these events are asked to include a reference to the OASIS event code in one instance of the multi-instanced CAP <eventCode> element.
