[EAS] Fwd: [ChicagolandSkywarn] WEA Enabled Phones to Receive Emergency Messages

[Clay Freinwald]

Mike- 

Your EAS Committee's (SECC and LECC's ) should have a rep at the table that
can speak for CMAS.   If this is not the situation in your area,  I would
hope that you,  and others of a like mind, would work to make it so.   

In all my years of doing EAS (and before that EBS) the only way to get the
kind of system that we want and need is by working with all the stakeholders
around the table.   It's amazing how things change when you get a number of
people raising the same issue in a room.

I wonder if there is a protocol for us folks involved in the EAS system to
receive test messages to ensure our devices will work with this system.  Do
the major providers have a point of contact that media can work with?
