EAS2Text
Advanced tools
An Extensive EAS Header to Text Translation Python Library
- EAS to Text Translation
- EAS EOM detection
- Handles Unknown Callsigns, Originators, and FIPS codes
- Additional raw outputs and individual item outputs
- EAS Data Validation
- Fast as all hell, as per usual :3
This package should be installable through Pip.
On a Debian Based Linux OS:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
pip3 install EAS2Text
On Windows:
In CMD:
python -m pip install EAS2Text
This package should take a raw ZCZC string, and then return the full text, and/or individual options:
from EAS2Text import EAS2Text
data = EAS2Text("ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN -")
print(f"{data.EASText}")
should output:
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for Washington, MD; Frederick, MD; Carroll, MD; Baltimore, MD; Allegany, MD; Harford, MD; Winchester, VA; Frederick, VA; Hampshire, WV; Morgan, WV; Berkeley, WV; Jefferson, WV; and Mineral, WV; beginning at 12:29 AM January 24, 2022 and ending at 6:29 AM January 24, 2022. Message from WACN.
Using the Generator, you can get additional output of info from an alert:
from EAS2Text import EAS2Text
oof = EAS2Text("ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN -")

EAS2Text is the first Header to Text adapter that can "Emulate ENDECs"
Currently Supported:
Not Supported:
To use an emulation system:
from EAS2Text import EAS2Text
oof = EAS2Text(sameData = "ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN -", mode="SAGE EAS") ## Emulates a SAGE EAS ENDEC
print(f"{oof.EASText}") ## The full EAS Output data, 1822 style
You can now specify a timezone offset to use! Note: This CAN and WILL break if you use obscure timezones. Keep it to Mainland U.S. for best reliability.
To use an specific timezone:
from EAS2Text import EAS2Text
oof = EAS2Text(sameData = "ZCZC-WXR-SPS-024043-024021-024013-024005-024001-024025-051840-051069-054027-054065-054003-054037-054057+0600-0231829-WACN -", timeZone=-6) ## Uses a UTC-6 Offset
print(f"{oof.EASText}") ## The full EAS Output data, with a UTC-6 Offset.

Security News
The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.
Research
A supply chain attack on Axios introduced a malicious dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, published minutes earlier and absent from the project’s GitHub releases.
