- naravara 9y agoThis isn't the guy looking for it, this is the guy running the emergency alert system. It's likely to be a contractor who gets meagre pay, limited benefits, and no job security as the contract probably turns over to a new vendor every 2 or 3 years. The "training" they have is, if anything, an MS word document with a bunch of screenshots or a flash animation showing each of the functions that the contract required the developer to build in.

If after assessment they determine there is a threat to anyone they notify the appropriate agencies. A civilian in a totally different government agency is the one who pushes the notification button.
- mulmen 9y agoHow is the notification sent from the military to the civilian agency? Does the civilian agency validate the notification? Why is it necessary or preferable for a human to do this instead of a computer?
