About The New York State EAS Plan

The EAS Plan for New York State was recently rewritten by The New York State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC). It became effective November 7, 2011.

In updateing the new Plan, a significant amount of input was provided by broadcasters and cable operators. Also, with new codes supporting activations such as Amber Alert, the timing was perfect to roll out this Plan.

All stations should download a copy of The Plan and review it. Particular attention should be directed at the updated Operational Areas and Monitor Assignments. While the Plan may be updated periodically, the Monitor Assignment portion will always be current ont his site.
