Recently (April 20211), a worldwide CAP conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland. People representing over 30 countries attended, and it was hosted by the World Meteorlogical Organization and had representatives from OASIS and ITU there as well.
Great presentations, and an overall sense that CAP is becoming THE world standard for alerting/warning. The standard is great in its current form, and actively being developed for version 2.0 and 3.0.
Kudos to all those making this happen, and all the countries that are adopting. I'd encourage all software developers to incorporate the ability to both import and export CAP feeds into their solutions.
Mobile phones will allow people to submit alerts faster and in greater volume. Sensors, dropping in price, and increasing in functionality, can also automatically send CAP alerts on a wide array of issues.
Go CAP!
