[EAS] Blue Alerts Are Back

[Botterell, Arthur@CalOES]

While I agree on general principle, Sean, I think it's also the case that the SAME Event Code list has been allowed, through a series of well-intentioned but tunnel-visioned add-ons over many years, to be inherently ambiguous and confused.  I'm afraid that on some points, like this one, training could only acknowledge the LEW/Blue Alert overlap.  The confusion is real and I don't think  it can be "trained away."

The biggest, and continuing problem, with all IPAWS and EAS alerts is lack of training of local originators.  Although they are getting better, many IPAWS and local EAS alert originators have problems creating useful alert text and activating their systems.
