[EAS] AR, MO, KS Tornado alert that wasn't

[Adrienne Abbott]

Barry--
Hopefully, this was confined to WEA. If it went broadcast, the stations
which received and rebroadcast it are required to file a report with the
FCC. Nevada stations just went through this last month. 

The relevant rule here is 11.45.  It states, in subsection (b), that:
 (b) No later than twenty-four (24) hours of an EAS Participant's discovery
(i.e., actual knowledge) that it has transmitted or otherwise sent a false
alert to the public, the EAS Participant send an email to the Commission at
the FCC Ops Center at FCCOPS at fcc.gov, informing the Commission of the event
and of any details that the EAS Participant may have concerning the event.
