[sbe-eas] Question for the group about the new MEP EAS Code

[Rob Dale]

I'm still unsure what this code actually "does" since most entities will still probably use the CEM. But that's an interesting interpretation by the dad - understandable given the emotions involved with a missing person regardless of the overall circumstances...

I sure agree – and a local angry father does not!

Many thanks!

Let the "and" roll off the tongue ?? A missing person who is not in danger - is not a public emergency.

Hello everyone !

Please allow me to ask a question about the new MEP EAS code.

A New Mexico father is angry and is complaining that the media didn’t carry alerts about his missing adult son.

There is no evidence that the missing adult son is endangered in any way.

So, here’s my request for clarification.

Is MEP designed for:

            (1) persons who are simultaneously missing and endangered, or

            (2) persons who are missing but may or may not be endangered?
