Description
The Remote Community Alert Systems Program
2010 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, county and local governments with
their State Government office, U.S. Territory or Possession Government
office or Tribal Community Government office in opportunities and
technologies to further disseminate emergency messages. This program is
a contributing element of the Warning, Alert, and Response Network
(WARN) Act, and is designed to complement other agency contributions to
that national effort. This program adopts the Federal Communications
Commission's definition of the term ``remote'' which means an area
consisting 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.
