[EAS] Real EAN Words on TV Slide

[Richard Rudman]

Hi, Don:

Personally, I like your Slide 1 text, with a couple of changes.

The "trusted news source" line might imply that the station people are now tuned to is NOT a trusted news source!

I would change it slightly as follows:

>Slide 1 idea - "Emergency Alert System Activation" " This is an Emergency Action Notification requested by the White House. The President of the United States or  someone representing the President will be speaking to the nation shortly on this station."  " This is not a test" 

My other change < someone representing the President > prepares for the day when the US has a woman president.

:-)

As far as accidental airing, I think TV storage systems either have to come up with a way to display an "Are You Sure" before a manual or automation routine calls up the EAN slide.

CAP might make this easier if the Feds plant a link to an EAN "Slide" or maybe video text they create in a CAP EAN when we get to that point.
