assigned the responsibility as indicated in State and Local Area Plans. LP
sources are assigned numbers (LP-1, 2, 3, etc.) in the sequence they are to
be monitored by other broadcast stations in the Local Area.

originate from the Governor or a designated representative in the State

State Relay Network and relays National and State common emergency messages
into Local Areas.
