 Are any states conducting EAS & WEA use and performance reviews along

For example, the National Weather Service issued several FLASH FLOOD 
EMERGENCY warnings.  However, NWS did not trigger the EMERGENCY 
language template in Wireless Emergency Alerts.  The FLASH FLOOD 
EMERGENCY alerts appeared on cell phones as regular FLASH FLOOD WARNING 
messages.

I don't know if this was a glitch in the NOAA/NWS - WEA system.  Weather 
radio and EAS did get use the EMERGENCY language warnings.

Several twitter folks have been asking why they didn't get the flash flood 
emergency alert their phones, just the warning language.  The local 
weather forecast office did post flash flood emergency on twitter.
