are disrupted as a result of hurricane, flood, earthquake, or similar
disaster, utilize such station for emergency communication service in
communicating in a manner other than that specified in the instrument of
authorization: Provided:
(a) That as soon as possible after the beginning of such emergency use,
notice be sent to the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the
Commission at Washington, D.C., stating the nature of the emergency and the
use to which the station is being put, and
(b) That the emergency use of the station shall be discontinued as soon as
substantially normal communication facilities are again available, and
(c) That the Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau of the Commission at
Washington, D.C., shall be notified immediately when such special use of the
station is terminated: Provided further,
(d) That in no event shall any station engage in emergency transmission on
frequencies other than, or with power in excess of, that specified in the
instrument of authorization or as otherwise expressly provided by the
Commission, or by law: And provided further,
(e) That any such emergency communication undertaken under this section
shall terminate upon order of the Commission.
