On the week of June 18, 2012, FEMA plans to enable the capability for NWS warnings to pass through to the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS), also known as the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA).
NWS CAP messages will be formatted to trigger a warning notification on WEA-capable devices for the following NWS warning types:

- Tsunami Warnings
- Tornado Warnings
- Flash Flood Warnings
- Hurricane and Typhoon Warnings
- Extreme Wind Warnings
- Blizzard and Ice Storm Warnings
- Dust Storm Warnings

The NWS push of CAP to IPAWS is an initial capability.  Modifications and improvements are currently planned for the summer of 2012 to maximize performance and reliability. Plans also include enabling NWS CAP messages to pass through IPAWS to the Emergency Alert System (EAS) in late summer 2012.
