[EAS] NWS on IPAWS

[Harold Price]

I'd be surprised if RWTs from each local office go to CAP.  That 
would be a lot of extra messages on Wednesday afternoon.

Each originator of messages doesn't need to send an RWT.  If you take 
it all the way out, you could get an RWT from each county in your 
area, the state, other authorities (whoever does AMBER alerts for 
your area), etc.

There needs to be at least one RWT or possibly other alert like a DMO 
on each CAP server, we've seen the value of that with the IPAWS 
server.  I don't think there needs to be one from every entity that 
can issue a CAP message.
