 From Inside Radio:

San Diego's EAS is activated - but for some listeners, it was no help.

When San Diego's EAS fired up Sunday night as the wildfires spread, 
the signal from primary station KOGO was heard across all market 
stations. Univision typically follows EAS with translations, but it 
was Sunday night and there was no bilingual staff on duty at 
Univision's cluster. So nobody could translate the message to the 
market's Spanish-speaking listeners.
