Interesting tidbit from the Australian warning system discussions: the originating systems (the first relay) provides a report to the emergency authority on the number of deliveries.  That suggests that feedback occurs at some level.

I don't know whether this sort of reporting is something that would be part of a requirement, but I'll try to find out.
