In early 2005, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in partnership with the [[Association of Public Television Stations]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.apts.org|title=Association of Public Television Stations|work=apts.org}}</ref> demonstrated CAP-based "digital EAS" broadcasts over public television digital TV transmitters and satellite links in the [[Washington, D.C.]] area and nationwide.
CAP is the foundation technology for the national "[[Integrated Public Alert and Warning System]]", an all-hazard, all-media national warning architecture developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in consultation with DHS, the [[National Weather Service]] within NOAA, and the [[Federal Communications Commission]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fema.gov/emergency/ipaws/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-06-24 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100629014918/http://www.fema.gov/emergency/ipaws/ |archivedate=2010-06-29 |df= }}</ref>
