What is CAP? Who has adopted it?
• The Partnership for Public Warning (PPW) had its founding meeting
Nov 30, 2001 to investigate improvements to public warning. PPW was
named and executive director Dr. Peter Ward, led the 16 Trustees
representing 130 members from industry, government and the general
public all interested in improving warnings.
• The PPW chose OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured
Information Standards) to standardize the draft work introduced by Art
Botterell. OASIS was the optimal choice as the standards are free, open
and international. The xml Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) was first
ratified in 2004. The ITU adopted it as Recommendation X.1303 in
2006.
• FEMA adopted CAP as the alerting protocol for IPAWS in support of
Executive order 13407. The FCC now requires CAP in the EAS and CMAS
alerting.
Washington State Proof of Concept
CAP Pilot Project
• Funded by FEMA IPAWS office in 2005.
• FEMA requested a CAP Proof of Concept pilot
project at a PPW Trustees meeting.
• Washington State EMD selected MyStateUSA,
Inc.
– Communications and collaboration tool
– Single CAP Decoder feeding SRN Analog Network
Pilot project allowed EOC to relay CAP alerts over

WA-CAP and IPAWS
• WA-CAP network monitoring will continue by all CAP
capable broadcast stations per the SECC State EAS Plan.
• All broadcasters must also monitor the IPAWS ATOM
feed for national alerts starting June 30, 2012.
• All WA-CAP alerts originated with MyStateUSA will also
be relayed to IPAWS to relay providing a third redundant
path for EAS alerts to reach Washington broadcasters.

IPAWS/CMAS Access Approval
• WA has a Collaborative Operating Group (COG)
agreement with the FEMA IPAWS office that covers the
entire state and it’s use of IPAWS approved MyStateUSA
software.
• Training required is provided by MyStateUSA either on
site, via webinar, or on-line.
• Completion of the FEMA IS-247 Integrated Public Alert
and Warning System course on-line is also necessary for
all activators.
Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS)
• CMAS will require third party software for activation
by EOC’s/911 Centers.
• MyStateUSA has successfully sent CMAS alerts to the
IPAWS aggregator servers.
• IPAWS will send MSU CMAS alerts to all participating
cellular carriers for relay to the public.
CAP-EAS Lessons Learned
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cap Status field must be actual
Polling instead of Static IP
Group counties for RMT’s by EAS LECC area.
Broadcaster decoders are programmed to relay real
alerts to all counties they broadcast to.
Encoder programming templates were used statewide
for the Sage units currently installed. (~120)
Hot audio levels on decoders were adjusted in a
statewide effort to balance audio levels.
Original Lexicon files installed in SAGE units will be
updated periodically by the SECC.
IPAWS Modernization Act – HR3563
PURPOSE:
To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to
direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to
modernize and implement the national
integrated public alert and warning system to
disseminate homeland security information and
other information, and for other purposes.
CAUSE CAP Experiment
Washington State and British Columbia CAUSE Experiment in
2011 utilized the International Common Alerting Protocol
(CAP) standard to exchange alerts and geo metadata
information between neighbors that have and will continue
to send first responders to help each other when needed.
