Operational Area Seven consists of the following Central Florida Counties: Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia. In addition, Area Seven also supports the following Central Florida Counties: Polk and Marion.

This document, as revised, is part of the State of Florida EAS Plan. For participating broadcasters and cable systems, the most recent copies of this Local EAS Operational Area 7 Plan and the latest FCC Handbook () must be located at normal duty positions or EAS equipment locations when an operator is required to be on duty and be immediately available to staff responsible for authenticating messages and initiating actions. (FCC rule CFR 47 ?11.15)

Acceptance of or participation in this plan shall not be deemed as a relinquishment of program control and shall not be deemed to prohibit a broadcast licensee from exercising independent discretion and responsibility in any given situation. Stations relaying EAS emergency communications shall be deemed to have rebroadcast authority. The concept of the management of each broadcast station to exercise discretion regarding the broadcast of EAS emergency information and instructions to the general public is provided by the FCC rules and Regulations. This document augments but does not replace Part 11 of the Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations.

Points of Contact

The eight County Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) or the County 911 Communication Centers (when the County EOC's are not activated) will be the primary contacts to activate the Emergency Alert System. 911 centers will be the secondary contacts. It is noted that these contacts can be expanded for future use as needs grow.

Each County Emergency Operations Center has equipment installed to interface with the State Division of Emergency Management as well as accessing NOAA via the State's Emergency Management Network (EMNet) System.

Cooperative Emergency Information Feed

During times of emergency, equipment at some County EOC's is capable of being manned and operated full time in order to provide a cooperative feed to the broadcast community. When activated, personnel will be solicited from the general broadcast community to provide the feed. Unless otherwise specified in advance, all transmissions will be generic in nature relative to station ID's and names since this will be a cooperative feed. Any EAS alerts sent from the County EOC's during emergencies will be coordinated with the operator of the cooperative feed equipment before the transmission of these alerts during emergency situations, programming under current Federal Communications Commission regulations concerning transmission of Emergency Civil Defense information.

Role of NOAA Weather Radio

NOAA Weather Radio is a backup link in the EAS plan. It is a pathway from which Federal, State, and Local alerts can be directed in the event of disruption of normal communications channels to the LP-1/LP-2 broadcast stations listed in this plan. EAS activations, emergency information or protective action instructions can be disseminated using this communications system.

Operational Area Seven is served by four (4) different NOAA Weather Radio feeds (162.400 in Daytona Beach, 162.475 in Orlando, 162.500 in Sumterville and 162.550 in Melbourne.) Three (3) of which originate from the National Weather Service Office in Melbourne. Alerts for counties except Brevard and Flagler are simulcast on both the 162.400 and 162.475 MHZ frequencies. Alerts for Brevard County are sent via the 162.550 MHZ frequency. Alerts for Flagler County are sent via the 162.400 MHZ frequency. The fourth NOAA Weather Radio feed is from the Ruskin Office (162.500 Sumterville) which disseminates alerts for Lake, Marion and Sumter Counties. WPOZ will monitor EMNet for weather activations and use NOAA Weather Radio as backup source.

Because of an agreement with the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida, WPOZ is initiating all weather activations for all Operational Area 7 counties. Therefore, NOAA weather radio is not a primary, or, an optional EAS monitoring assignment in Florida Operational Area 7. It is strongly recommended that NOAA weather radio is NOT connected to your station's EAS equipment in order to prevent disruptive duplicate alerts and activations.
