• For a limited period of time, we will:

establish radio communication systems, staffed by licensed amateur radio operators, to replace existing damaged, disrupted, or saturated systems, or to establish radio communications where no system previously existed, on relatively short notice, at no cost to served agencies, until we are authorized to demobilize.
