The New Mexico State EAS Plan outlines how the Chief Executive Officer Of New Mexico, the Governor, the National Weather Service (NWS) and authorized local/regional government entities can provide emergency messages affecting a large area, multiple areas, or the entire area of the state. It provides guidance for the broadcast and cable industry in the use of the Emergency
Alert System, both voluntarily and in the event of a national alert from the President of the United States. This EAS plan is an FCC-mandated document. It outlines the framework for how emergency warning centers and the broadcast community can work together to assure that residents in the State Of New Mexico and adjacent state participants can receive timely information that will better help them take protective actions to save lives and property.
