[BC] BUSH ORDERS UPDATE OF EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM

[Robert Reymont]

Cell phones are easy.... they have GPS on board and deliver alerts 
for the area you are traveling through...  It wouldn't do any good 
for a Hasmet spill alert or an Amber in Cincinnati if you are in Chicago..

In Arizona, we are working on the system at a meeting July 6th with 
Homeland Security, Arizona Broadcasters, the SECC committee, and the 
Arizona EOC.
