[sbe-eas] Requests about EAS test information

[Dave Anderson]

State of Florida use to have the state plan on their website, but now you must ask for it via e-mail, so the latest isn't public.

FCC does a lot of handwaving, without definitively answering the question if EAS plans filed with the FCC are subject to FOIA or public documents.

Sometimes the FCC has published state EAS plans on its website, other times it doesn't.

The legal status of various State Emergency Communication Committees varies from non-existant, a volunteer, a club, an association, part of a state agency depending on the state or territory.
