[sbe-eas] WEA in RI during severe rain

[Sean Donelan]

There is a diffusion of responsibility between weather/meteorological 
warnings and other public safety warnings.

Inter-agency coordination sounds like a good idea, but is hard in real 
life. That's why we keep seeing problems with "wildfire warnings" in the 
west.  "Not my job!" Ok, who's job is it?  I don't know, someone else?

NWS is not an "all-hazard" warning organization.  Likewise other 
organizations such as the State Police don't have experience issuing 
meteorological event warnings.

When multiple organizations issue warnings, you end up with conflicting 
instructions and public confusion.  When no organization issues warnings, 
you end up with uninformed public hazards.
