In the last 5 years, a few states changed from discreet local EAS
operational areas, to a combined state-wide EAS operational area. Kansas,
Maine and Nebraska.
I still have the old Nebraska EAS map, but I don't believe its relevant
anymore. Which is why I changed Nebraska to a single state-wide EAS OA.
I don't know how well or poorly a combined state-wide operational area vs.
discreet local operational areas work. NWS makes up the bulk of EAS
alerts, and NWS still uses discreet areas of responsility by weather
forcast office.
