All,



Upon further review and careful consideration, the FHFCS Program Management
Office requests that all FNARS stations take the following precautionary
measures, as soon as possible, with HF communications equipment installed
at FEMA Regional Centers, Regional Offices, and State and Territory
Operations Centers.



FEMA Regional Centers

*         Power down all radios and disconnect HF antennas but leave at
least one radio/HF antenna active



Regional Offices, State, and Territorial Operations Centers

*         Power down all radio(s) and disconnect HF antenna(s)



Systems should remain off-line effective through September 14th.  However,
should an event occur that requires FNARS activation, all FNARS systems
must be restored and available for HF communications.



Please relay the above message to your regionally designated to state and
territory entities.



Thank you in advance for your cooperation.



Regards,
