wasn't only for the public's ears. Stations which monitor them we're
notified at that same instant. In my opinion, the staff acted responsibly
and properly.

Three other stations immediately relayed the warning we originated.  I even
got an e-mail from the owner of one of the local Christian stations who said
a preacher heard the relayed alert on his station and immediately spread the
word to people in his village.  He's crediting that alert with saving lives.
There were 3 other stations that didn't air the alert - one was due to a
configuration issue, the second an ongoing stupidity issue, and the third
was the government-owned TV station that has NO EAS gear!
