Maureen,
That is one of the points I have been trying to make with the radio station.
It has a mandated EAS receiver and is notified of any local, state, or
national emergencies. It is the only way to reach this group of people that may
not speak English.

Mike -
Thanks for your expertise and keeping us on course about this FCC
stuff.
But be careful what you say about emergency evacuation plans, I'm
still waiting to see Asbury Park's plan. Terry Reidy, our emergency
management officer, and Harry Conover, the officer for the county,
have had a standing invitation to discuss the plan on the show since
last August. My chief complaint was that the locals aren't informed
as to what actions to take in an emergency. The State Police, who
lead the state in these efforts and are ultimately responsible, have
encouraged me to keep at my local officer, that the need for
education is valid and vital. The APP published my editorial on this,
too.
