I should probably let you know: You're probably ok if you just transmit the speech imitations of alert events. But if you transmit the actual alert tones and/or the data prefixes, those carrier-like sounds, you could face US Federal criminal charges. If you set off any emergency equipment, even by accident, the fines for this can run way past $100,000.00 according to what I can quickly find. I recommend research into what is and is not safe to broadcast, even via Internet radio.

that's only if someone's stupid enough to broadcast it near a live EAS encoder unit that's broadcasting to actual TV or radio stations, and you should not only be telling that to just me but the folkes over at GWES and those that run the ERN, eas relay network icecast shit with actual hardwhere encoders.

Nothing personal intended, just concern, sir. This is not my field but I had heard a few months ago that it could be dangerous to imitate that stuff.

no I know, I'm just saying it's dangerous to those near actual hardwhere that work at a radio station or such and such

I tried three ways to find a way around the warnings I get from Gemini. I'll post the one that might give you the most ideas for safe management of this, in case that is helpful. https://share.google/aimode/AQ5jteq2wwm3AWY4F
