Common alerting protocol is becoming more common among military agencies
Government Security News: In 2001, an international, independent group of more than 120 emergency managers began specifying and prototyping the "Common Alerting Protocol" or CAP, data structure based on the recommendations of a report issued by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).
Shortly thereafter, the Bush administration championed a presidential initiative related to CAP which resulted in a test that exchanged 1,400 Common Alert Protocol (CAP) messages through the Dimensional Measurement Interface Specification (DMIS) interoperability backbone. The test demonstrated the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) "Message Distribution Element" standard and submitted it to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) for approval.
