CAP at 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 overview

BlackBerry AtHoc

 supports Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and is compliant with all industry accepted warning standards. CAP is a simple and general format for exchanging emergency alerts and public warnings over all types of networks. CAP allows a consistent warning message to be disseminated simultaneously over many different warning systems, thus increasing warning effectiveness while simplifying the warning task. CAP can gather information from state, local and national agencies. CAP also facilitates the detection of emerging patterns in local warnings of various kinds, hazard or hostile act.

This document describes how 

BlackBerry AtHoc

 publishes and processes CAP alerts and processes inbound CAP events.
