I'm pretty sure this was done because the Obama Administration is foreseeing a revolution on its hands ala Greece & England. 99% stand UP!
: : : As it turns out, this was an epic fail around the country. All of the tried-and-true tested state top-down plans worked. The problem was from the never-fully-tested FEMA origination. In other words, the problem was from the very top.
: I'm hearing the problem revolved around a phone bridge at FEMA. I'm sure we'll hear more as time goes on. Realistically, we all passed the important part of the test, which was making sure our equipment identified the EAN code and put the feed on live. The audio problem while unfortunate, wasn't really the point.
: Wisconsin actually has a very comprehensive EAS plan.
