[EAS] [BC] What's the point of LP-1s anymore?

Adrienne,

The microwave system plan was to start in Douglas County NV and go 
west, more or less, through Alpine and Calaveras County to San 
Joaquin County with spurs to neighboring counties like Amador and 
Tuolumne counties.  Looked great on paper but there were too many 
zeros in the budget that gave CAO's and county supervisors heart palpitations.

It is unfortunate that it always takes a "100 year event" to get 
anybody to talk about emergency planning.  Shortly after things 
settle down priorities and budgets for emergency anything get 
cut.  Went through all of that in 1989 and 1990 with Loma Prieta.
