[EAS] Making a better alerting system

[Adrienne Abbott]

Adding to Barry's comments, a thunderstorm can occur miles away from the
flash flood event it produces. That makes the alert process even more
difficult because you're trying to warn a public which has no evidence of
the disaster that's about to hit their area, even if they have access to the
technology--weather radios, broadcast or cell phones--which would receive
the warning.
