Re: DHS letters for fuel and facility access

As an ex-broadcaster, I have never seen one of these letters. Even during our 1989 earthquake. In fact, I knew of one station that ordered a genset as power was down after the earthquake for several days and it was commandeered by LE as they were being driven to the transmitter site, three times! Three different gensets! On 3/16/20 1:20 PM, Sean Donelan wrote:

On some other mailing lists, FCC licensed operators are reporting they have received letters from the Department of Homeland Security authorizing "access" and "fuel" priority.

Occasionally, DHS issues these letters after natural disasters such as hurricanes for hospitals and critical facilities.  I haven't heard of them issued for pandemics.
