[EAS] Multilingual support for CAP messages

[Adrienne Abbott]

Not only are there going to be people who don't get EAS warnings, not
everyone who gets the warning heeds that advice. According to statistics
from the National Weather Service, 155 people died in floods in 2015. There
were 48 flood-related deaths in Texas, the most of any state. Texas EAS and
NOAA do a good job of issuing flood warnings but people still drive across
flooded roads and get trapped and drown. While we were in Texas earlier this
year 3 people were killed in one storm even though EAS activations and WEA
messages were issued. 

It's sad and frustrating because these deaths are preventable. But people
still look at a road that's covered with water and all they see is the place
they want to go, not the fact that there's been so much rain the normally
placid Trinity River has grown so wide that it covers the pavement. Some
people just keep driving, no matter how many EAS activations are issued or
how many languages are used or how many news stories are done showing how it
takes only 6 inches of water to float a car or truck or SUV. EAS can't fix
Stupid.
