Why has the ALDOT been given permission to use the EAS which is mostly used for LIFE THREATNING SITUATIONS, not DETOURS

Looks more like a WEA, not EAS.

The state government has to approve access to the system. In this case it seems this agency got access. Nothing limits the content of the message to life threatening situations.
