Emergency Communications Coordination Seminars : Local Broadcasters & Local/State Emergency Management Organizations - Register Now!
New York Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services & New York State Broadcasters Association, Inc.
During emergencies, county and local emergency officials spring into action to help their communities. At the same time, local radio and television stations stand ready to broadcast critical information. It is essential that they work together to provide their communities with lifesaving information.
The best time to prepare is before an emergency occurs. Our goal is to establish lines of communication that can be used during various types of emergency situations, including blizzards, floods, industrial accidents, hazmat situations and traffic emergencies. This includes procedures for providing live coverage during these situations.
To facilitate coordination, the New York Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services and the New York State Broadcasters Association will be hosting video seminars with broadcasters and local emergency management officials December 9th and 10th. We will be hosting four video conference seminars based on your EAS region/county. Here are the dates/times.

We encourage emergency management officials and local broadcast stations from counties/localities to participate on the dates designated above. Because local stations may provide service to multiple counties or EAS regions, a station should consider participating in seminars that includes all the counties falling within its coverage area or DMA.
The seminar is provided free of charge. You must register in advance.
If you cannot make a video conference in your area, feel free to register for another conference. All conferences will be recorded and archived.
