[EAS] National EAS Test

[Adrienne Abbott]

My point is an effective emergency message delivery system can never rely on
just one delivery technology, not even if it is the Internet.  More ways are
better, and what is better changes from one area of the country to another.
The nice thing about CAP is that there is a standard container for the
message which allows a multiplicity of delivery methods.  And once a
broadcaster has a CAP device, it can get these messages in any of the
variety of methods, and provide a standard way of getting it on the air,
with whatever audio has managed to arrive at the station - attached digital
audio, locally generated text to speech, or the EAS relay.

Redundancy Redundancy Redundancy If you have enough options, everybody will
have something that works...
