Abstract: Abstract Digital public warning systems (PWS) are platforms for multichannel emergency communication. Advancements in PWS technological infrastructure—API gateways, among all—transformed them into modular and open systems, thus lowering the barriers for outside actors for (a) integrating national PWS with each other, thereby constituting emergency warning ecosystems, and (b) intersecting emergency warning ecosystems with other data ecosystems (e.g., healthcare, supply chain) to provide emergency-related digital services. This chapter introduces a model of the warning process along four phases, that is, activate, represent, dispatch, and counteract. It furthermore explains how the warning process is supported by the PWS and how warning ecosystems can help provide richer representations of emergencies.
