5.3.18.5
Responding to an Emergency Alert
NOTICE:
The Group contact used for the Emergency Alert
should not be used for voice communication. This
could prevent other radios from sending and
receiving Emergency Alerts on the same group.
An Emergency Alert from a radio indicates that the user is
in an urgent situation. You may respond to the alert by
initiating a private call to the radio who declared the
emergency, initiating a group call to a designated talk
group, sending the radio a Call Alert, initiating a Remote
Monitor of that radio, etc. The proper response is
determined by your organization and the individual
situation.
