[EAS] National Weather Service Message Flooding

[Clay Freinwald]

The Event Code list for WEA is pretty short - much shorter than EAS.

We've already had very deceptive WEA warnings (like Blizzard Warnings for
Downtown Seattle)...
The wireless industry is very sensitive to doing things wrong.

The thought has occurred to me that - maybe- (just maybe) NWS needs to
consider
a separate feed for Broadcasters and WEA from what they feed NWR.

I feel for NWS on this one - It's a classic case of damned if you do and
damned if you don't

You have loss of life because a warning was filtered or not sent and there
will be flying fur and lawyers.

Hi, Bill:

I totally agree. 

The specific issue of an even worse situation when more CAP systems are in
place is definitely on my list of concerns for one of the CSRIC working
group committees I am on.
