Common Alerting Protocol - CAP
• CAP is an internationally accepted standard for all-media, all-hazards Alerting/EW
• Main CAP features are:
Flexible geographic targeting using latitude/longitude “boxes”;
Multilingual and multi-audience messaging;
Enhanced message update and cancellation features;
Digital encryption and signature capability;
Facility for digital images, audio, and video;
CAP-Enabled Sahana Alerting and Messaging Broker(SAMBRO) 6
■ CAP interoperable warning standard
allows for all-hazard all-media
information exchange
■ Open-source Sahana system
improves coordination, consistency,
completeness, coverage, and control
■ Single entry of a message is shared
through multiple channels with
relevant emergency responders and
public
■ Increases warning efficiencies,
situational-awareness and simplifies
knowledge dissemination
Goal: To operationalize a CAP in the Maldives, Myanmar & Philippines.
Objectives: 1) Provide location specific alerts/warnings based on risks.
2) Integrate all the stakeholders through a common
information exchange hub for better coordination.
Activities: Develop national “CAP Profile”
• Development of hazard specific CAP-enabled pre-populated
alerts/warnings templates
• Operationalize the system for using by the alerting authorities
