Common alerting protocol (CAP) implementers' workshop

The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), an OASIS standard adopted as ITU Recommendation X.1303, is the foundation standard for all-media public warning. Designed as an all-hazards alert format, CAP is envisioned worldwide for earthquakes, public health, and other emergencies, in addition to severe weather events. This no-fee workshop is primarily a forum for discussions among CAP implementers and ICT or emergency management organizations on topics requiring coordination. This workshop follows on the 2006 "Workshop and Demonstration of Advances in ICT Standards for Public Warning" held at ITU in Geneva (see http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/worksem/ictspw ).
