  Sec.  87.397   Emergency operations.

   (a) The licensee of any land station in the Aviation services, during a
   local emergency involving the safety of life and property may communicate in
   a  manner other than that specified in the license (See  Sec. 87.395). Such
   emergency  operations may include operation at other locations or with
   equipment not specified in the license or by unlicensed personnel provided
   that:

   (1) Such operations are under the control and supervision of the station
   licensee,

   (2)  The  emergency  use  is  discontinued as soon as practicable upon
   termination of the emergency,

   (3) In no event shall any station transmit on frequencies other than or with
   power in excess of that specified in the license,

   (4) The details of the emergency must be retained with the station license,
   and

   (5) At a controlled airport these communications must be coordinated with
   the FAA.

   (b)  The  unicom  frequencies listed in subpart G may also be used for
   communications with private aircraft engaged in organized civil defense
   activities in preparation for, during an enemy attack or immediately after
   an enemy attack. When used for these purposes, unicoms may be moved from
   place to place or operated at unspecified locations, except at landing areas
   served by other unicoms or control towers.

   (c)  In  any case in which a license for unattended operation has been
   granted, the Commission may at any time, for national defense, modify the
   license.
