===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|accessdate=9 June 2015|format=PDF|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|accessdate=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|accessdate=9 June 2015}}</ref>
