I wonder if the easiest way might be to cannibalize a S.A.M.E. weather
radio? You could even tap the warning lights to signal the repeater
when an alert is present, and simply use the programming of the weather
radio to decide which alerts to relay.

Agreed. Locally here they have been advertising EAS type consumer
radios. From what I gather from the blurb they seem like the real thing
with programmable municipality codes, programmable to your choice of
alert tones, etc. I don't know what a S.A.M.E. is , maybe the same
thing ? (Oops, sri for the pun)
I haven't bothered to hear a brand name or price but I suspect its cheap
enough to negate building your own from scratch.

Good luck,
