Doesn't look like it was due to FEMA or the local emergency manager either.

There is one applicable lesson here though - EAS participants should not
connect their CAP EAS device to the FEMA test server - only the operational
environment (apps.fema.gov).  It's unlikely that any have yet, but if the
test domain were more broadly known, bad things could happen as in NJ...

Yesterday, an EAS "test" went awry, but it wasn't a broadcasters' fault..
