[EAS] NWS on IPAWS

[Adrienne Abbott]

But we've got to find some way to keep these entities or agencies involved
and give them the opportunity to train their staff...I thought there would
be a way to conduct what would be essentially a "closed circuit" test that
wouldn't require stations to document an RWT in their logs...

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.
