Oregon supports the Emergency Alert System by providing support to the State Emergency Communications Committee which is responsible for developing EAS plans statewide.
-
The Emergency Alert System replaces the old Emergency Broadcast System (EBS).
-
Under EBS all alert messages were originated at the State level.
-
With EAS, messages are originated by local authorities, though the State or Federal Government can still access the system if the need arises.
Interesting EAS Links:
Federal Government EAS information:
- 47 CFR, Part 11 concerns national EAS policy and procedures.
- EAS Handbook is provided by the US Government, and is intended for broadcasters involved in the EAS program.
