L6: Deployment
Layer 6 – National & Local Implementation
NWGs: national governance · NCCs: competence nodes · CERTs: communities
L6 answers: “How does this touch real people, real institutions, and real emergencies in each country?”
It is the last mile of the Nexus rail:
- Where national laws, agencies, and politics meet the rail.
- Where local infra, universities, utilities, and cities host it.
- Where communities and first responders use it in anger.
Core entities
National Working Groups (NWGs)
- Multi-stakeholder national risk & resilience governance fora.
- Connect line ministries, regulators, utilities, academia, civil society, Indigenous leaders.
Nexus Competence Cells (NCCs)
- Local infra & training nodes – usually universities, labs, or critical service operators.
- Operate national instances of platforms, host academies, run drills.
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs)
- Local teams (formal and volunteer) that run drills and act in emergencies.
- Provide real-time sensing and social licence.
Key functions
NWGs
- Align Nexus programmes with national strategies, laws, and budgets.
- Choose host institutions for NCCs and ensure lawful data flows.
- Provide policy feedback on feasibility, equity, and impact.
NCCs
- Operate local NEXCORE/UNOSINT/EWS/DSS instances under TMD/NSF standards.
- Train analysts, responders, and validators; host sandboxes and pilots.
- Provide structured feedback on models, data, and usability.
CERTs
- Run preparedness activities and drills based on Nexus playbooks.
- Provide ground-truth incident reports, including community-level impacts.
- Co-design risk communication with NCCs and NXS.Comms.
Interfaces
- TMD → NWGs/NCCs (authority): platform capabilities, integration plans.
- NWGs → NCCs (authority): mandates, lawful-basis matrices, national priority setting.
- NCCs → CERTs (authority): tools, training, drill scenarios.
- CERT/NCC/NWG → MEL/UNOSINT/Bio/RMB/RSBs/SLBs (feedback):
Basis risk, equity, local innovations, performance, and harms.
Standards anchors
- NWGs: ISO 22392, 22301, 21500/21502, GRI 2, SDGs, national data/cyber laws.
- NCCs: ISO 22316/22327, 56002, 27001/27701, W3C DID/VC.
- CERTs: ISO 22320/22322/22324, Sendai, INSARAG, Sphere, IFRC Code of Conduct.
What L6 solves
- Prevents Nexus from being a global toy used only in capitals and boards.
- Makes the rail answerable to communities and front-line responders.
- Feeds the richest possible ground truth back into UNOSINT and governance.
