[EAS] Warning, Again

[Larry Wood]

Yesterday KQED-FM San Francisco received an EAS from CAP. (see below)

The audio was short and up cut, 8.7 seconds. And what there was of the audio did not follow the text below. "tream fire danger. Stay alert. Leave area if you feel unsafe. Follow burst responders." That was all there was to the audio. No location details or anything else. Our operator sent the alert without first listening to the audio. Then when he heard what was broadcast he read the text contained in the alert. This alert was worse than useless. As the LP2 I sure hope no one monitoring us sent the defective alert.
