[BC] The point of EAS?

[Sid Schweiger]

"The official way to notify the public of a nuclear attack is no longer
EAS, but NOAA Weather Radio.  Why?  People actually have NOAA weather
radios with SAME decoders."

...assuming the radio's innards and the NOAA transmitters haven't been fried to a crisp by the EMP that accompanies a nuclear explosion.
