3. EAS Utilization Pareto Chart
According to PPW Publish Report of the Assessment of Emergency Alert System. The report clearly shows that NWS activates the system far more often than any other organization.
NWS issues nearly 45,000 to 50,000 Sever Thunderstorm Warnings yearly
Typical Thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and last 30 minute
Weather Related Deaths and Injuries
2000 there were 476 fatalities and 2796 injuries
1999 there were 908 fatalities and 5148 injuries
Note the President of the United States has never activated the national emergency alerts system in the 50 plus years of its existence .

4. Emergencies – Most are Localized Majority of EAS Alert are Local in Nature.
EAS Codes
TOR - Tornado Warning
CAE - Child Abduction Emergency
HMW - Hazardous Material Warning
FFW - Flash Flood Warning
NUW - Nuclear Power Plant Warning Add impact radius in words…Add impact radius in words…
5. Emergency Type – Tornado Tornadoes –Quick Facts
Weak Tornado
88% of all tornadoes
5% of the deaths
1-10 minutes duration
110 mph winds
Strong Tornadoes
11% of all tornadoes
25% of the deaths
20 plus minutes duration
110 to 205 mph winds
Violent Tornadoes
1% of all tornadoes
70% of all deaths
Up to 1 hour duration possible
205 mph or greater winds
Tornado avg. speed = 30
Tornado effects < 50 sq. mi. Amber Alerts
Time is of the essence. Seventy-four percent of children who are kidnapped and later found murdered are killed within the first three hours after being taken, and 99 percent are killed within the first 24 hours.
Given statistics that indicate that 91 percent of stranger abducted children are murdered in the first 24 hours
after their abduction (44 percent in the first hour), time is not just of the essence
but a matter of life or death.

AMBER Alerts work best at the local level.
Broadcasting alerts within 200 miles of an abduction within the first 3 hours of a kidnapping is considered a helpful guideline for state DOT’s. This reflects how far an abductor could travel in the first three hours and keeps alerts local, reducing the likelihood of too many alerts leading to a possible lack of public attention
