Implementation Plan For (My Organization) : (Date)

This implementation plan outlines the process for adopting CAP alert authoring and distribution for an organization. It includes an introduction describing the purpose and overview of the CAP-based alert system. It then discusses project oversight and management, a task list and schedule for implementation, security and testing procedures, required resources like hardware, software and training, the rollout process, and a glossary of terms. The goal is to integrate CAP into the existing alerting system to improve public warning while meeting organizational needs, budgets, and schedules.

1. Introduction

Purpose
Describe the purpose of your plan to implement CAP alert authoring and a CAP alert feed.

Assumptions and Constraints


In developing this plan, list the assumptions and constraints you’re making in regard to these
and any other items:

● Schedule
● Budget
● Resource availability and skill sets
● Software and other technology to be used or purchased
● Interoperability of existing applications with new applications
● Other

Project Overview
What are the major components of your CAP-based alert system? Include the chart you
developed for the Action Item: Integrated CAP Flowchart showing your alerting system with
CAP components. Describe where CAP fits in and how it changes the current set up.

2. Oversight
How is the implementation going to be managed? Who is overseeing the project? Who are the
team members? Who has decision making responsibilities?

Include a list of key members, their role(s), and their contact information.

3. Major Tasks and Schedule

Implementation Method
Describe the method to be used for implementation

Page 2
Task List
Provide a list of major tasks required to implement CAP. Make use of the Action Item: Major
Task List. Include a suggested timeframe for each major task. For each task:
● Describe what the task will accomplish
● Resources needed to accomplish the task
● Person responsible for the task
● Estimated timeframe
● Criteria for completion

Schedule
Include a draft schedule. Use a format that is acceptable for your organization. This can take
many forms, such as a calendar, a Gantt chart, a checklist, etc.

4. Security and Testing

Security
How are you addressing security issues? Will your existing system provide sufficient security for
any new systems, servers, or applications that will be added? Given the sensitive nature of
issuing alerts, be sure that access to any new publishing tools meet your organization’s security
protocols.

Development and Testing


Describe how the new system will be developed in parallel with and without disrupting your
existing alerting process. How will testing be conducted? Given the sensitive nature of alerts,
assure that the development and testing process will not lead to issuing false alerts.

5. Resource Needs
List and describe any hardware, software, facilities, and materials required for the
implementation, along with the documentation, necessary personnel and training requirements,
outstanding issues, and implementation impacts to the current environment.

Hardware
Will you need new servers, terminals, or other hardware? Provide the details of all new
hardware required.

Software

Page 3
Will you be using open source CAP tools, developing new tools, adapting existing software, or
using hosting services? List your software needs, cost, subscriptions, etc.

Training
List how staff and your end-users will be trained. This includes training needs for implementing
CAP, issuing CAP alerts, and the use of the CAP alert feed.

Documentation
List any documentation and job-aids that need to be developed or updated.

6. Rollout and Maintenance


How will you know that the new system is ready to be made operational? What criteria will be
used to move your development system to being operational? What metrics will you use to
measure performance (use of the CAP alert feed)? What ongoing maintenance will the new
system incur?

7. Glossary
Include a list of any terms and abbreviations used in this plan (e.g., WMO, WMO PR, CAP, etc.)
