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&#8209;CP working group, along with stakeholders and projects such as the Canadian Association for Public AlertingSafety andOperations NotificationOrganization (CAPANCanOps) and Netalerts' Sarnia Lambton trial, are now working with and refining CAP&#8209;CP for national application in Canada.<ref>http://www.capan.ca</ref><ref>http://sarnia-lambton.netalerts.ca/</ref>

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>http://www.lirneasia.net/projects/current-projects/evaluating-last-mile-hazard-information-dissemination-hazinfo/</ref>
