In 2007, the International Telecommunication Union, Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) adopted the Common Alerting Protocol as Recommendation X.1303.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/|title=ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector|work=ITU}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.1303-200709-I/en|title=X.1303&nbsp;:&nbsp;Common alerting protocol (CAP 1.1)|author=tsbmail|work=itu.int}}</ref> The recommendation annex contains an authoritative [[ASN.1]] module translation of the CAP XML schema that may be useful for some implementations.

X.1303 is within the remit of ITU‑T Study Group 17 (Security), Rapporteur Group on Cybersecurity (Q.4/17) for purposes of further evolution of the standard.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/studygroups/com17/index.asp|title=ITU-T Study Group 17 (Study Period 2013-2016)|work=itu.int}}</ref>

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, Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and the 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=http://www.em.gov.au|title=Pages - Australian Emergency Management|work=em.gov.au}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.govshare.gov.au/item-details/?rid=57|title=Common Alerting Protocol – Australia (CAP-AU-STD) - GovShare|work=govshare.gov.au}}</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 broadcasters 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}}</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>

The Federal Office for Citizen Protection and Disaster Support (Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe, BBK) is working on an implementation based on CAP 1.2, which will allow for Internet-based access to data provided by the nations modular warning system MoWaS.<ref>http://www.bbk.bund.de/DE/AufgabenundAusstattung/Krisenmanagement/WarnungderBevoelkerung/Warnmultiplikatoren/Warnmultiplikatoren_node.html</ref> The development of MoWaS is based on the satellite-based warning system SatWaS from 2001, which only provides information to less than 150 state and media entities. In case no broadcast receiver, like a radio or television, is running nearby, the resulting warning effect of SatWaS would be severely limited, because many state-run emergency sirens have been left unmaintained or were dismantled altogether. This is one of the issues, CAP support in MoWaS is hoped to alleviate.
