==Background==
The National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) report on “Effective Disaster Warnings” [http://www.sdr.gov/NDIS_rev_Oct27.pdf PDF] ([[November]], [[2000]]) recommended that “a standard method should be developed to collect and relay instantaneously and automatically all types of hazard warnings and reports locally, regionally and nationally for input into a wide variety of dissemination systems.”
In 2001 an international, independent group of over 120 emergency managers began specifying and prototyping the Common Alerting Protocol data structure based on the recommendations of the NSTC report. The project was embraced by the non-profit [http://www.ppw.us Partnership for Public Warning] and a number of international warning system vendors. A series of field trials and long-term demonstration projects during 2002-03 led to the submission of a draft CAP specification to the OASIS standards process for formalization.
