[EAS] Nationwide AT&T Mobility 9-1-1 outage

[Sean Donelan]

Why not use the TOE (911 Telephone Outage Emergency) EAS code, since 
that is TOE's purpose?  Or CEM (Civil Emergency Message) for legacy EAS 
compatibility?

But the alerting problem, which also occured during a previous Intrado 
multi-state outage, there are many overlapping PSAP jurisdictions with 
different phone numbers.  It tends to generate a lot of public alerts, and 
public complaints, when multiple jurisdictions start sending their own 
alert messages.

Instead of doing it city-by-city or county-by-county; to reduce the 
number of individual alerts, PSAPs may need to coordinate a combined, 
joint message for a broad area.
