Status

Existing

Description

This element represents the statewide Amber/Silver Alert system which is the partnership responsible for distributing information for an Alert. Local law enforcement where the event occurs makes the call regarding Alert and they notify the Nevada Broadcasting Association and NDOT. NDOT is responsible for notifying the public by posting information on DMS signs and the media is responsible for broadcasting the information to the public. NDOT is working on getting the EAS equipment in each district so that they can hear the original amber alert info to get an early start on the warning. They are also getting encoders as well as decoders.
