[EAS] New EAS Rules

[Bill Ruck]

Dave,

Could we be twins separated at birth?

I've been advocating funding training for a long time and that is the 
ONLY way to solve this problem.  And that training will not be 
inexpensive; getting people together for training takes them away from 
their real job.  I learned this first hand when I made a CAP / EAS 
presentation to Northern California APCO.  All of the dispatch-type had 
the same question: "Who is going to fund the training we will need for 
our staff?"

Feel good legislation, a/k/a "We did something to solve the problem" is 
a curse of modern government mind-set.

If congress wants to fix public warning, they are going to have to put serious money into support for training and drills that lead to a level of proficiency so as to reduce these errors to an acceptable level.  And to train in how to properly recover from errors if they happen. You'll never eliminate the mistakes totally, but if they can at least be reduced in numbers and severity such that congress doesn't feel the need to fix them, then that goes a long way.
