[EAS] EAS monitoring sources

[Mike McCarthy]

I don't know about that time line Sean.  I've been involved at the WFO
level since the late 80's and the local forecasters have always had the
authority to issue short fuse products in my experience.

It is true the pre-scripted products came into play during the early
2000's.  And even more so when workstation AWIPS was deployed
(2008-2010ish) in place of terminal based AFOS. The latest generation of
AWIPS is light years better than the first generation replacing AFOS.

But I see an apples to oranges distinction between local EMA and NWS in
scope, scenario roles and responses.
