[EAS] CAP EAS Logging Question

[Dave Kline]

Brian,

I can't answer your question directly having SAGE gear, but it got me thinking.(uh oh.)
Being state specific only, and not county specific would ultimately seem to defeat the point of using any kind of alerting system.
We may have tests on a national scale (once, ever and not CAP) and we have state tests, legacy most everywhere and in a few cases CAP.
(NE is trying a CAP RMT next week. We did a CAP RWT test last week, but these were "ALL NE" tests as will be the RMT.)
But as the saying goes; "All emergencies are local."
If cap cannot work on a county level, then what is the point of all of this monkeying around we've been doing over the last couple of years?
Does that mean it would be pointless to issue an weather related EAS alert on anything less than an "ALL STATE" level?
If I'm not mistaken, our LECC is considering CAP-able gear to generate alerts locally.
