[BC] Yes, EAS works!

[Alan Kline]

I'd say no. The local media seemed to have things well in hand. (I was 
listening to KCBS (AM)'s web stream for a good share of the day). This 
was a huge mess, but I wouldn't call it the kind of disaster or 
emergency that warrants EAS.

I'm wondering if EAS would have been appropriate for today when a major fire blocked the BART subway tunnel from Oakland, leaving about 75,000 transbay commuters without service this morning.  The lack of BART service also meant that the Bay Bridge was packed beyond capacity with waits up to 2 hours at the toll booths.  Would that have been an appropriate use of EAS?
