==Background==
The US [[National Science and Technology Council]] (NSTC) November 2000 report on "Effective Disaster Warnings" recommended that "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."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sdr.gov/NDIS_rev_Oct27.pdf |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2006-05-03 |
In 2001, an international independent group of over 120 emergency managers that was convened online by California emergency telecommunications expert Art Botterell 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 Partnership for Public Warning and a number of international warning system vendors.<ref>http://www.ppw.us {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020928072102/http://www.ppw.us/ |date=2002-09-28 }}</ref> 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.

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}}</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|
