[EAS] NWR and EANs?

[Mike McCarthy]

EAN/EAT are national event codes. Until Congress passes a bill or FEMA 
and NOAA agree to change NWR's mission, EAN's will only be on broadcast 
and cable.  All other event codes are local in nature and are generally 
either responses to naturally occurring events or something man 
"created".  Such as a collision/crash or exposion.
