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

[Tim Stoffel]

I was amused when my (Verizon) phone displayed a message that started with "Extreme danger". The text part debunked this, but it was poorly formatted. The EAS message/crawl (I was at the station when it happened) was far more informative.

However, I suspect not everyone was amused.

Again, the problem is that WEA can only use certain Event Codes and when you
send a CAP EAS and WEA message, you are limited to only the Event Codes that
WEA accepts. When you send a CAP EAS activation, the viewer sees the entire
text of the message so it's a lot less scary than SAME where the only text
you see is "Civil Danger Warning".
