Richard,

Central Region has uniform warning standards and policies which may 
differ from Western or the other regions. The local WFO has some 
latitude in implementing them. But the important operative is the 
latitude is limited.

As an adjunct, it may be a good idea for stations who monitor the NWS to 
set aside or archive EAS logs where message flooding occurs to 
demonstrate such does in fact occur. There may be some level of denial 
encountered until cold hard EAS logs are presented. Especially if the 
log is a stack of paper covering multiple events.
