Someone posted a screenshot of a different EAS alert interface on twitter:

It has a similar list of alert "templates" as this one, but in addition it has a confirmation box with a radio button "send TEST only / SEND EAS LIVE", and if you select the "send live" option you must enter an authorization code.

It would be interesting to see what the rest of the user interface looks like, if the hawaii one has something similar.

The use of Windows XP is a nice touch.
