[CAP] Presidential CAP questiion

[Art Botterell]

Jim -

I can't speak for FEMA, but I would expect that presidential messages will go from WACA to FEMA for distribution through the IPAWS framework to EAS, cellular and other dissemination media.  Of course, presidential alerts have been, to date, vanishingly rare.

Although there's been a lot of talk about the Presidential messaging
possibilities in DEAS and at least three different versions of what that
might be (PBS, NOAA and DHS variations, that I'm aware of), is anyone aware
of a specific, currently available Presidential source (i.e., pre-empting
all others, even those in progress, per various Executive Orders), which is
available in CAP format (or any other digital, text-oriented format), and if
so, what that current source might be, and through whom it might be
currently available? Surely one must have been employed in the DMIS EAN test
back in June.
