[EAS] California WEA

[Richard Rudman]

I am in agreement with Suzanne.

The bright, shiny warning object that WEA has become should not be an easy way out for issues like this require a concerted multi media public heath and government agency public relations campaign. Likewise this would not IMO be a proper use of EAS. 

If the intent was to "motivate"" people not observing proper COVID-19 safety protocols to do so, WEA messages are not going to change their minds.
