Resource Centre | RSS Feeds RSS, which stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (sometimes called Rich Site Summary), has been adopted by news services, weblogs, and other online information services to send content to subscribers. After subscribing to an RSS feed, you will be notified when new content to a web site has been added without having to visit the web site. Typically, syndication services send out a headline or summary with a link to the full story. How to subscribe You will need to download and install an RSS reader, or use a web-based service like Bloglines. Then, you copy and paste the URL of the news feed (e.g., http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/catalogs/eqs1day-M2.5.xml) into the viewer's "subscribe" dialogue box. Examples of RSS viewers include
British Columbia Provincial Emergency Program Canadian Center for Emergency Preparedness Canadian Red Cross Canadian Transport Emergency Centre (CANUTEC) Disaster Recovery Information Exchange Emergency Preparedness Information Exchange Federal Emergency Management Association Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada Weather Office http://www.publicsafety.gc.ca/aid/rss-eng.aspx |
