The NOAA have started experimenting with an alerts page offering both RSS and XML feeds. The XML feed is <acronym title="Common Alerting Protocol">CAP</acronym>, or Common Alerting Protocol. There is a mini-FAQ explaining CAP. It is briefly described on the NOAA page:

Common Alertings Protocol (CAP) is an non-proprietary standard data format for the interchange of hazard warning and reports.

This is an experimental service, and any comments should be submitted to the feedback page by December 30, 2003. Submitted comments will "help determine the future of the product".
