[EAS] CA Fires/EAS Activation

[Darryl Parker]

So much of the successes of EAS depends upon the champions. My gratitude is extended to those of you who donate your time, skills, experience, and passion to this important service.

Too often, when and where EAS falls short, there is no resident champion to effect a change for the better.

Thank you all.

        And whose fault is this?
        Some station engineer?
        How sad that EAS has such a low reputation
        in Monterey/Santa Cruz that the licensed
        stations have let things get to this point,
        and shame on CALFIRE and the Sheriff's
        office for not preparing for an emergency.

        The instance you now mention - cutting the
        phone fiber ... that will make reverse 911 real useful.
