Amendment of Part 97 of the Commission’s Rules Regarding Amateur Radio Service Communications During Government Disaster Drills

In this Report and Order, we amend the Commission’s amateur radio service rules. Specifically, we amend the rules to permit amateur radio operators to transmit messages, under certain limited circumstances, during either government-sponsored or non-government sponsored emergency and disaster preparedness drills, regardless of whether the operators are employees of entities participating in the drill. Although public safety land mobile radio systems are the primary means of radio-based communications for emergency responders, experience has shown that amateur radio has played an important role in preparation for, during, and in the aftermath of, natural and man-made emergencies and disasters.
