[EAS] HD developer proposal for EAS

[Adrienne Abbott]

The problem is that we are creating a two-tiered society: the Informed and
the Less-Than-Informed. The Informed, with their HD Radios, Smartphones and
next-gen TV's will not only know that there is an emergency, they will know
what it is, where it is and what to do about it. The Less-Than-Informed will
know, at best, that there is a problem. 

Unfortunately, warning systems will still have to cater to the lowest common
denominator to make sure everyone gets the information. 

Think of your family and the people you know...some of them don't have cell
phones or computers and don't intend to ever own either one. Some still have
flip phones and don't intend to upgrade. Some are still watching analog TV
with a converter box and rabbit ears. Some avoid Social Media like the
plague. Some have 4K TV's, terabyte computers and iPhone X Max's...we are
trying to reach everyone with the same platform.
