CEM is not a restricted use code for WEA. If Nevada's alerting software
does not allow Nevada to use CEM, its a local software problem. Not an
IPAWS/WEA problem. Nevada should contact its alerting software provider
to fix its software.
Event Codes that can be sent via all three primary (EAS, WEA, NWS)
dissemination channels

FRW: Fire Warning
HMW: Hazardous Materials Warning
LAE: Local Area Emergency
LEW: Law Enforcement Warning
NUW: Nuclear Power Plant Warning
RHW: Radiological Hazard Warning
SPW: Shelter in Place Warning
VOW: Volcano Warning
Additional Event Codes with restricted dissemination channels:
ADR: Administrative Message (Will NOT go to WEA)
TOE: 911 Telephone Outage Emergency (Will NOT go to WEA)
RMT: Required Monthly Test (Will NOT go to NWEM or WEA)
