Editing Common Alerting Protocol (section)

==Implementation==
===Worldwide===
In 2007, the International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) adopted the Common Alerting Protocol as Recommendation X.1303.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/|title=ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector|work=ITU}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.1303-200709-I/en|title=X.1303&nbsp;:&nbsp;Common alerting protocol (CAP 1.1)|author=tsbmail|work=itu.int}}</ref>  The recommendation annex contains an authoritative [[ASN.1]] module translation of the CAP XML schema that may be useful for some implementations.  Rec. X.1303 is within the remit of ITU‑T Study Group 17 (Security), Rapporteur Group on Cybersecurity (Q.4/17) for purposes of further evolution of the standard.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/index.asp|title=ITU-T Study Group 17 (Study Period 2013-2016)|work=itu.int}}</ref>

===Australia===
The Australian Government Standard for Common Alerting Protocol (CAP-AU-STD, 2012) was developed by a CAP-AU-STD stakeholder group comprising federal agencies [[Emergency Management Australia]], the [[Bureau of Meteorology]], [[Geoscience Australia|GeoScience Australia]], [[Department of Agriculture and Water Resources|Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry]] and the [[Department of Health (Australia)|Department of Health]] as well as a number of State Government authorities and emergency services agencies. The project was co-ordinated by the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department (Australian Emergency Management).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ag.gov.au/EmergencyManagement/Emergency-management-capability/Pages/default.aspx|title=Emergency Management Capabilities - Attorney General's Department|work=ag.gov.au|access-date=2018-01-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180115184416/https://www.ag.gov.au/EmergencyManagement/Emergency-management-capability/Pages/default.aspx|archive-date=2018-01-15|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://data.gov.au/dataset/cap-au-std|title=Common Alerting Protocol – Australia (CAP-AU-STD) - Data.gov.au|work=data.gov.au}}</ref>

===Canada===
In Canada, a working group composed of public alerting practitioners and government agencies has developed a CAP Canadian Profile (CAP-CP) based on CAP but specialized to address the needs of Canadian public alerting stakeholders, such as bilingualism, geocoding for Canada, managed lists of locations and events, etc. The Canadian government has adopted CAP-CP for its [[National Public Alerting System]] (NPAS) project. The CAP‑CP working group, along with stakeholders and projects such as the [[Canadian Public Safety Operations Organization]] (CanOps) and Netalerts' Sarnia Lambton trial, are now working with and refining CAP‑CP for national application in Canada.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

CAP has been implemented for a small-scale, grassroots hazard information system in [[Sri Lanka]] following the [[2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami]].  This implementation was part of the "HazInfo Project", funded by Canada's [[International Development Research Centre]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lirneasia.net/projects/current-projects/evaluating-last-mile-hazard-information-dissemination-hazinfo/|title=Evaluating Last-Mile Hazard Information Dissemination (HazInfo)|work=lirneasia.net|access-date=2007-01-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070709060448/http://www.lirneasia.net/projects/current-projects/evaluating-last-mile-hazard-information-dissemination-hazinfo/|archive-date=2007-07-09|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The province of [[Alberta]] adopted CAP as part of its [[Alberta Emergency Alert]] system. In March 2015, [[Alert Ready]], a national public warning system based upon CAP-CP, was officially launched. Participation in the system by all broadcasters and television providers is mandated by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Public Alerting Bulletin to Last Mile Distributors|url=https://alerts.pelmorex.com/download/public/Broadcaster%20Bulletin%202015-03-27.pdf|publisher=Pelmorex|access-date=9 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506000827/https://alerts.pelmorex.com/download/public/Broadcaster%20Bulletin%202015-03-27.pdf|archive-date=6 May 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Alberta emergency system goes digital|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-emergency-system-goes-digital-1.993701|website=CBC News|access-date=9 June 2015}}</ref><ref name=cbc-aeavoice>{{cite web|title=Digital alert system hard to decipher: critics|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/digital-alert-system-hard-to-decipher-critics-1.1032381|website=CBC News|access-date=9 June 2015}}</ref>

===Germany===
The Federal Office for Citizen Protection and Disaster Support (''Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilf''e, BBK) is working on an implementation based on CAP 1.2, which will allow for Internet-based access to data provided by the nation's modular warning system MoWaS.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/AufgabenundAusstattung/Krisenmanagement/WarnungderBevoelkerung/Warnmultiplikatoren/Warnmultiplikatoren_node.html | title = Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe - Warnmultiplikatoren }}</ref> The development of MoWaS is based on the satellite-based warning system SatWaS from 2001, which only provides information to less than 150 state and media entities. In case no broadcast receiver, like a radio or television, is running nearby, the resulting warning effect of SatWaS would be severely limited, because many state-run emergency sirens have been left unmaintained or were dismantled altogether. The use of CAP support in MoWaS should alleviate this problem.

===Italy===
The Department of Firefighters, Public Rescue and Civil Defence  ([http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/home.aspx Dipartimento dei Vigili del Fuoco, del Soccorso Pubblico e della Difesa Civile] ) of the [[Ministry of Interior (Italy)|Italian Ministry of the Interior]] adopted the CAP protocol with two Ministerial Decrees in [http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/ReturnDocument.aspx?IdDocumento=4859 2008] and [http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/ReturnDocument.aspx?IdDocumento=4855 2011.] Since then, its 100 provincial control rooms, 18 regional control rooms and the national control centre exchange a daily average of 25,000 CAP private messages concerning rescue operations in real time. As per the decrees, any emergency stakeholder in Italy which wants to exchange or share data with the Fire Corps in the course of large scale emergency or rescue operations has to adopt the CAP protocol.

The first use of CAP protocol in a civil protection activity in Italy was recorded in 2009, in the aftermath of the [[Central Italy Earthquake]], when the Fire Corps exchanged data with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage to coordinate their efforts in designing and implementing provisional measures for monuments and historical buildings. 

On April 5, 2017, an [http://www.vigilfuoco.it/aspx/download_file.aspx?id=22636 agreement] between the "Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco" and the "Arma dei Carabinieri" has been signed to improve the forest fire fighting activities. The interoperability of data exchange that the agreement allows is based on the use of the CAP protocol.

===United States===
On September 30, 2010, the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] (FEMA) officially adopted CAP as the protocol for its new [[Integrated Public Alert and Warning System]] (IPAWS), which is designed to disseminate emergency messages via various platforms, including broadcast media ([[Emergency Alert System]]), wireless devices ([[Wireless Emergency Alerts]]), and other platforms.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web|url=https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=385a5fb7-aa83-431d-80a1-3aa45296e3db|title=FCC revises emergency alert system rules; reminds participants of June 30, 2012 CAP compliance deadline|last1=Oxenford|first1=Davis Wright Tremaine LLP-David D.|last2=Tol|first2=Jennifer|website=Lexology.com|language=en|access-date=2019-08-24|last3=Frewer|date=10 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.broadcastlawblog.com/2010/09/articles/fema-adopts-digital-message-format-for-eas-cap-standard-triggering-180-day-clock-for-compliance/|title=FEMA Adopts Digital Message Format for EAS CAP Standard, Triggering 180-Day Clock for Compliance|date=2010-09-30|website=Broadcast Law Blog|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-24}}</ref>
