The times shown are the origination times of
State Tests. The tests may be
received by your station(s) up to 2 hours after the origination time.
This
depends on whether your station(s) has a direct link or monitors a
relay of other stations.
State monthly tests (RMT) are required and must be re-transmitted
within 60 minutes of the time they are received. Weekly local tests
(RWT) are also
required to be run. Stations are reminded that their EAS receiver must
be
programmed to receive all of the codes listed in the Oklahoma State
Plan, but
not necessarily activate on them. Each station should log receipt
of 2 RMT
tests a month and 2 RWT each week a RMT is not scheduled.
The Statewide Amber Alert Program will transmit abduction alerts with
a Child Abduction Emergency (CAE) code. Four Amber Alert tests are to be sent out
during 2006 at the dates and times listed above.
 |
The Amber Alert or information contained in the alert
should be Broadcast every 30 minutes for the first two
hours and every hour for the following three.
|
|
Pictures of the victim or suspected abductor and additional
information on the abduction will be posted on the Amber Alert website
whenever they are available.
|
|
The best source for additional information on the abduction
will be the law enforcement agency that originated the
alert. Participating law enforcement agencies have been instructed that they
should be prepared to handle media inquiries.
|
|
Citizens calling your station with information regarding
the Abduction should be referred to the telephone number announced in the
alert. Under no circumstance should station personnel take or announce
information of this nature.
|
Any questions about EAS should be directed to State Co-Chairmen Roger
Herring, (918) 445-9398, rherring@ktul.com
or Britt Lockhart, BrittLockhart@clearchannel.com
(405) 841-0258.
