[EAS] CAP EAS Logging Question

[Marlin Jackson]

County by county should work fine with CAP. It does here in Washington and Idaho as long as the decoder is programmed correctly.
 
The Latest RMT we did here was a coordinated effort with Idaho State and the Inland Northwest EAS Area of Washington. It originated via MyStateUSA from South Idaho coded for All Idaho, 2 separate counties in Montana, 1 county in Oregon and 10 individual counties in Washington. It went off without a hitch. We've done RMT's and actual alerts by county without any problems.

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?

Nevada has three EAS Operational Areas. Even with our 50,000 flame-thrower
PEP AM stations, no one broadcast signal covers all three, or even two
areas...the state is that big. Fortunately, our disasters seem to follow the
same geographic divisions as the op areas...We will conduct our first CAP
RMT Tuesday so we will see how Locator Code programming affects the
distribution of the test.
