[EAS] Observations and a question

[Richard Rudman]

Rod:

You might see if you can refer your state's committee to the draft SECC Plan posted on the EAS Forum.

The point would be that there is language in it that specifically talks about the importance of building a partnership between state and local emergency management and those subject to the EAS whose function it is to relay warnings to the public whose purpose is to help save lives and preserve property.

Might be worth a try.

The draft plan link is the fourth item down on the main page at the moment. There is other information on the site you might find valuable.

Regards,

Richard Rudman

> One of the problems that I see is at least in my state the EAS committee is made up of all broadcasters not a single local emergency manager or a representative of the state emergency managers association, there is one representative from the state that who knows what his politically appointed position is. From what I hear many states are similar therefore many plans  are written from a broadcasters viewpoint not the local officials
