Sec. 11.44 EAS message priorities.
(a) A national activation of the EAS for a Presidential message with the
Event code EAN as specified in Sec. 11.31 must take priority over any other
message and preempt it if it is in progress.
(b) EAS participants should transmit other EAS messages in the following
order: first, Local Area Messages; second, State Messages; and third,
National Information Center (NIC) Messages.
(c) Key EAS sources (NP, LP, SP and SR) and Participating National (PN)
sources that remain on the air during a National emergency must carry
Presidential Messages “live” at the time of transmission or immediately upon
receipt. Activation of the National level EAS must preempt State and Local
Area EAS operation.
(d) During a national emergency, the facilities of all EAS Participants must
be reserved exclusively for distribution of Presidential Messages. NIC
messages received from national networks which are not broadcast at the time
of original transmission must be recorded locally by LP sources for
transmission at the earliest opportunity consistent with the message
priorities in paragraph (b) of this section.
