[sbe-eas] FCC Report and Order draft provides time to comply

[FRANK BELL]

In 1752 the invention of the metal cutting lathe kicked off the industrial
revolution because often the possibilities from the increased precision.
EAS currently has low precision in terns of location, event terms (e g.
Space weather, cyber security, many more) where appropriate action can be
specific, recipient category (e.g. First Responders for exercises),
language selection or recipient preference. Integrating EAS with the
automation system becomes difficult because such imprecision makes it
difficult to assign an Automation Priority Value. Would you like my book
for reviewing "Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity & Emergencies"?
