[EAS] Leaving LA Quickly?

[Adrienne Abbott]

>Barry asked: One might suspect a report will be made to the FCC?<

It seems like this is a case for filing a report of a False EAS Activation,
per CFR § 11.45 Prohibition of false or deceptive EAS transmissions.

(a) No person may transmit or cause to transmit the EAS codes or Attention
Signal, or a recording or simulation thereof, in any circumstance other than
in an actual National, State or Local Area emergency or authorized test of
the EAS; or as specified in §§ 10.520(d), 11.46, and 11.61 of this chapter. 

(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 shall 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. 

(c) If the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency or a
State, local, Tribal, or territorial government entity becomes aware of
transmission of an EAS false alert to the public, they are encouraged to
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 they may have
concerning the event.

"An evacuation order telling residents to leave Los Angeles immediately was
accidentally broadcast on television Wednesday, authorities said." It
apparently originated at the County of Los Angeles and referred to the
"Eastern North Pacific Ocean" and also needed evacuation.
