Disaster Alert
Disaster Alert call is a broadcast emergency call initiated by the radio, with emergency pre-emptive
priority that everyone in a broadcast area can hear. This feature is specifically designed for
catastrophic situations, such as earthquakes, and has the highest priority over other calls. All radios
under Disaster Alert display emergency notification on their screens. The alert message, its duration
and destination talkgroup can be configured in the codeplug.

the call ends, the radio will exit the Disaster Alert state.

• Hot Mic functionality cannot be used.
• Speech can only be in Clear mode, even if any of the encryption services are enabled. The only
