Cloudwatch alarms from Amazon AWS EC2 instance are always in UT, how can I change the alarm time zone to Eastern?

I am running an Amazon linux AMI and the alarms that I've setup are coming in all showing UT (universal time). It is inconvenient reading these alarms and I'd like them setup to read in eastern time zone (or America/New_York).
I've already set my /etc/localtime to point to -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
But it is still sending alarms in the UT timezone.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
