ALABAMA EAS PLAN

I. INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN

This plan is the FCC-mandated document outlining the organization and implementation of the State of Alabama Emergency Alert System (EAS). It is the guideline for Alabama broadcasters and cable TV operators to determine:

• their mandated and optional monitoring assignments;
  
• codes to be used in the EAS Header sequence in this state;
  
• schedule of the Required Monthly Tests (RMT's) which must be relayed by all broadcasters and cable operators within 15 minutes of reception;
  
• and any other elements of the EAS which are unique to this state.
  

This Plan is an adjunct to the FCC EAS Rules and is not meant to be a summary, in whole or in part, of those Rules. FCC Rules, Part 11, contain the general rules regarding the Emergency Alert System.
