Sec. 22.307  Operation during emergency.



    Licensees of stations in the Public Mobile services may, during a 

period of emergency in which normal communications facilities are 

disrupted as a result of hurricane, flood, earthquake or other natural 

disaster, civil unrest, widespread vandalism, national emergencies or 

emergencies declared by Executive Order of the President, use their 

stations to temporarily provide emergency communications services in a 

manner or configuration not normally allowed by this part, provided that 

such operations comply with the provisions of this section.

    (a) Technical limitations. Public Mobile stations providing 

temporary emergency communications service must not transmit:

    (1) On channels other than those authorized for normal operations.

    (2) With power in excess of that authorized for normal operations;

    (3) Emission types other than those authorized for normal 

operations.

    (b) Discontinuance. Temporary emergency use of Public Mobile 

stations must be discontinued as soon as normal communication facilities 

are restored. The FCC may, at any time, order the discontinuance of any 

such emergency communication services.
