NWS CAP
• Common Alerting Protocol• Lower cost of entry to use mission critical NWS text products
• Integration with GIS technologies
• Enhanced message update and cancellation features
• Multi-lingual and multi-audience messaging
• How NWS Uses CAP: (http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta)
• Hurricane/Tropical Cyclones
• Severe Weather
• Tsunami Warnings
• Winter Weather
• Wind & Heat Events
• Non-Weather (HazCollect)

Brief History
• Built and deployed CAP 1.0 feeds in 2004• http://www.weather.gov/alerts/• Built by parsing WMO/text messages• With parallel HTML and RSS feeds• State and county (2006) feeds• Single CAP message contains all alerts• Well accepted, widely used, but calls for more fine grained parsing
• Started CAP 1.1 effort in 2007• http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/• Created a cross Weather Enterprise working group
• Held regular meetings to review prototypes• Each CAP message is a unique URI• State/County ATOM indexes, HTML replaced by style sheets• Plan to replace CAP 1.0 in December and go operational• Will serve as a template for future AWIPS produced messages

Approach
• Past and on-going tasks• Enhance the current experimental web-based CAP beta
feeds• Started in Spring 2009 populating Instruction element• Populate additional CAP elements• Better quality control
• Future tasks (2010-2012)• CAP “Push” streams
• XMPP• Centrally generate CAP messages in WMO "envelope"
and disseminate via traditional NWS “push” dissemination systems
• Generate native CAP using Next Generation Warning Tool with mixed case, expanded character set, and fully populated CAP elements
• Generate WMO-formatted product and CAP message• Continue to disseminate both versions

HazCollectAll-Hazards Emergency Message Collection System
• Mission – NOAA/NWS is assigned responsibility by the National Response Framework to “provide public dissemination of critical pre- and post-event information” on NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) and other dissemination systems.
• Provides tools to emergency responders and government officials for efficient distribution of alert and warning information to affected population in the event of an emergency. • Message Examples: Hazardous Materials Warning, Fire Warning,
Evacuation Warning, Shelter-in-Place Warning, Amber Alert, Nuclear Power Plant Warning, Civil Emergency Message
• Enables wider distribution of Non-Weather Emergency Messages to:
• NWS dissemination systems including NOAA Weather Radio and NOAA Weather Wire Service, Emergency Managers Weather Information Network (EMWIN)
• Emergency Alert System (EAS)
• Weather enterprise, news media, and others that monitor and distribute NWS data streams

HazCollect Description
• HazCollect is a nationwide capability developed by NWS in coordination with Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).• Warning authorities create messages on a FEMA-
managed application or a third-party CAP-compliant NWEM authoring tool
• FEMA Disaster Management interoperability platform authenticates users and provides message interoperability amongst parties
• Distribution of Non-Weather Emergency Messages (NWEMs) through NWS dissemination systems
