Emergency Alert System [EAS] –                       WVAQ-FM 101.9

NOTE:  In times of emergency, some radio stations are designated EAS stations.  We should listen to these stations for emergency information, evacuation routes, sheltering information and other emergency information that needs to be relayed to us.  Additionally, the County’s Emergency Operations Plan calls for sirens to alert us to one of the EAS stations.  There will be fire trucks or other emergency vehicles to go through the neighborhoods with public address system notification for emergencies.  If we hear the public address system, we should immediately turn to WVAQ-FM 101.9 for further information.
