[EAS] Solving a Filter Problem (SAGE 3644)

[Mike McCarthy]

The water FIPS codes are in the latest EAS system. A station's relay of 
anything water related is really a local decision. Particularly if there 
are full time residents living aboard vessels.  Which in the south 
Florida area is certainly possible.

The Coast Guard would also broadcast a notice to mariners on their channels 16 and 22A.  I'm not sure how many boaters watch TV while they are out on the water, but then I have a sea kayak, not a power boat.
