Develop an Emergency Alert and Warning Functional Annex for our Emergency Operations Plan based on input from all partners, which will include guidance on public-facing (i.e., Public Alerts, EAS, CENS, WEA, media releases and social media, variable message boards, loudspeakers, and in-person notifications) messaging, messaging authorities, concept of operations, triggers, organizations and responsibilities, and any other relevant information, including plan maintenance and management requirements. 4.
