Description
The Remote Community Alert Systems Program
2009 represents a NOAA/NWS effort to provide for outdoor alerting
technologies in remote communities effectively underserved by
commercial mobile service for the purpose of enabling residents of
those communities to receive emergency messages. These activities will
engage the private sector, academia, and States in opportunities and
technologies to further disseminate emergency messages. This program is
a contributing element of the Warning, Alert, and Response Network
(WARN) Act. NOAA's program is designed to complement other agency
contributions to that national effort. The Federal Communications
Commission has defined a ``remote'' area to consist of a county with a
population density of 100 persons per square mile or less, based on the
most recently available Census data. Also, ``commercial mobile
service'' means those services that are required to provide E911
services in accordance with Section 20.18 of the Commission's rules.
``Effectively underserved'' identifies ``remote communities'' that do
not receive ``commercial mobile service'' as demonstrated by coverage
maps, technical analysis, field tests, or any other reasonable means.
The program priorities for this opportunity support NOAA's mission
support goal of: Weather and Water--Serve Society's Needs for Weather
and Water Information.
