Sec. 11.21 State and Local Area Plans and FCC Mapbook.
EAS plans contain guidelines which must be followed by EAS Participants'
personnel, emergency officials, and National Weather Service (NWS) personnel
to activate the EAS. The plans include the EAS header codes and messages
that will be transmitted by key EAS sources (NP, LP, SP and SR). State and
local plans contain unique methods of EAS message distribution such as the
use of the Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS). The plans must be reviewed
and approved by the Director, Office of Homeland Security, Enforcement
Bureau, prior to implementation to ensure that they are consistent with
national plans, FCC regulations, and EAS operation.
(a) The State plan contains procedures for State emergency management and
other State officials, the NWS, and EAS Participants' personnel to transmit
emergency information to the public during a State emergency using the EAS.
(b) The Local Area plan contains procedures for local officials or the NWS
to transmit emergency information to the public during a local emergency
using the EAS. Local plans may be a part of the State plan. A Local Area is
a geographical area of contiguous communities or counties that may include
more than one state.
(c) The FCC Mapbook is based on the above plans. It organizes all broadcast
stations and cable systems according to their State, EAS Local Area and EAS
designation.
