But what is the fastest way to get to the local populace? Through EM! Get
the tornado report to the EM at the same time you're sending it to NWS and
you have the best of both worlds... What would the NWS do with the
information? Reroute it right back to the local EM.

I don't think the initiator should be the sole beneficiary... And I don't
see where the anti-EM sentiment is coming from, or why it has to be "one or
the other."
