Richard,

That is why I reached out to the Northern California chapter of 
APCO.  And it is clear that they had no clue about what CAP 
means.  Maybe a little more after my presentation but not much.

Broadcasters are a tiny part of the problem.  In this case we are 
definitely "preaching to the choir".

It is the rest of the emergency management community that needs to 
understand what their role is in EAS/CAP/IPAWS/etc.
