Thanks Tony! Much appreciated! Robert Sims (he/him) Chief Engineer KSPX-TV Sacramento 2882 Prospect Park Dr, Ste 245 Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 m: (603) 831-1589 e: Robert.Sims@... scrippsnetworks.com

At KZHP-LP, our Sage ENDEC received the usual RMT yesterday from KFBK, but apparently "ignored" it because of its "beginning (time) at 5:59"... We did not receive the re-send from KEAR, so perhaps their EAS system also "ignored" the KFBK send? Was this a KFBK problem? DST wars, perhaps? If so, will there be a make-good? When? Thanks, Bob Venditti 916-267-7637 KZHP-LP

Good morning and Seasons Greetings! In case you’re operating DASDEC EAS units, I’m passing on this message from the FCC sent earlier this week, based on a Nov. 23 message from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Hope this is helpful. Stay warm and dry this weekend… unless you REALLY NEED to go out… like the TX site to fix something. Ted Ted Langdell (530) 301-2931 Tedlangdell@... Secretary, SacSierra EAS Group Begin forwarded message: From: alerting@... Date: December 7, 2022 at 3:36:59 PM PST To: Ted@... Subject: CISA CVE Advisory ? Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participant, On November 23, 2022, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued an Advisory on security vulnerabilities in DASDEC EAS encoder/decoder devices sold by Digital Alert Systems (formerly Monroe Electronics). CISA warns that DASDEC software prior to version 4.1 contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows remote attackers to run code on the devices. CISA also warns that all DASDEC software contains an XSS vulnerability via the Host Header that can be used by remote attackers after login. The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB or Bureau) of the Federal Communications Commission advises all EAS Participants that use DASDEC devices to immediately take the following steps recommended by CISA to protect their systems from cyberattacks: Patch their DASDEC equipment to the latest version. Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure they are not accessible from the Internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolate them from business networks. When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as its connected devices. The Bureau also urges EAS Participants to take additional steps to improve their cyber hygiene as described in its August 5, 2022 Public Notice. Under the FCC’s rules, EAS Participants are responsible for ensuring that EAS equipment is installed so that the monitoring and transmitting functions are available during the times the stations and systems are in operation. Failure to receive or transmit EAS messages during national tests or actual emergencies because of an equipment failure may subject the EAS Participant to enforcement. The Bureau thanks you for your efforts to ensure the continued effectiveness of EAS.

This just out from the Federal Communications Commission regarding changes to the emergency alert system rules. Full Title: Amendment of the Commission's Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System Document Type(s): Report and Order Bureau(s): Public Safety and Homeland Security Description: The Commission adopted a Report and Order improving the clarity and accessibility of Emergency Alert System (EAS) visual messages to the public, including persons who are deaf or hard of hearing as well as others who are unable to access the audio message DA/FCC #: FCC-22-75 Docket/RM: 15-94 https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-improves-accessibility-and-clarity-emergency-alerts?fbclid=IwAR1K1jcy7qCuAQpGeuHCRSwVNihbLzFKAadf7ygan-aQ46hkUYLXc58PvjQ Ted Ted Langdell tedlangdell@...

Good Sunday Morning! Spotted this this morning. It’s a post from Friday, Sept. 9… so timely. The FCC is poised to make changes to EAS rules at its September 29 meeting. There is a draft item on circulation that’s out now. You can read more about it by using the link to the article. Michelle Bradley of REC Networks reports: “Under the CAP Polling rule being considered this month, when the EAS decoder receives a legacy alert, the decoder will wait up to 10 seconds for a CAP alert to be received. If a CAP alert is received during that period, the decoder will forward the CAP alert, otherwise, it will forward the legacy alert.” This may require paid or free updates from EAS equipment vendors, and attention from station, or in the case of various Emergency Offices, OES personnel to implement. MIchelle report that DASDAC units that are at version four already have this functionality, but it may need to be activated in the menus. Otherwise, a paid upgrade is needed. Michelle has queried SAGE and other EAS unit vendors about their units current capabilities, and whether what—if anything—might be needed to deal with the proposed change. Click here to read more, including find links in the article to the draft item and other relevant information. https://recnet.com/node/3675 Hope this is helpful.

If you are in the “Mid-North Zone Counties of Colusa, Sutter and Yuba" you might want to know that the FCC has advised me this morning to "Please use the LP-2 station assigned to you by the California State EAS plan..." That's the 2017 California EAS plan linked below. See page 14. https://www.caloes.ca.gov/WarningCenterSite/Documents/StateofCaliforniaEAS-Plan.pdf It shows, KXCL 103.9 Yuba City, which was COL relocated by the Commission around 2005 to Lincoln, Placer County... and is now Salem-owned KKFS. Some? Many? stations in the area may be monitoring KKCY, 103.1, Colusa (Results Radio Yuba City Cluster @ KUBA, 1600, Yuba City) off the Sutter Buttes. That's not an official LP-2. Not sure where that puts those of us who certified that the info we supplied is "true and accurate." Glad I have the FCC's reply to rely on if anything comes down the pike. I made State EAS chair Richard Rudman and Sac-Sierra Chair Rex Gunnison aware of the reply I got from etrs@.... I plan to re-tune my LP-2 receiver to 103.9 as instructed. If I have enough time, I may be able to add another receiver to our SAGE, tuned to 103.1. IF. (We need "Sarcasm Marks" in English Punctuation.) Good luck with your station(s). Ted

FYI, in case you didn’t see it elsewhere. Hope you had a good Fourth of July. Watch for a second email regarding several EAS related things of current importance. Read Tony’s email below.

Greetings Sac-Sierra EAS participants: This just in from Wisconsin SECC’s Gary Timm regarding the proposed changes to EAS mentioned during the Sacramento SBE 43 meeting. Comments period is open, and closes on April 20. See message below for links and other essential data. We’re off and at least walking! Cheers!

See: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-proposes-further-strengthen-emergency-alerting-0 The NPRM & NOI appeared in today's Federal Register, thus the Comment dates are set: "Comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking are due on or before April 20, 2021, and reply comments are due on or before May 4, 2021. Comments on the Notice of Inquiry are due on or before May 14, 2021, and reply comments are due on or before June 14, 2021." So if you want to Comment, act quickly. Comments are due in 21 days, Reply Comments 14 days after that!! File Comments at: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/ At the top of the page, click "Submit a Filing". Under "Specify Proceeding", type in "15-94", then select that "Amendment of Part 11 of EAS Rules". Comments can be a simple Word or PDF document, in any format you choose. Its easy - try it!! The new rules deal primarily with SECCs, requiring certification of meeting at least once annually, and involving the State chief executive (usually Governor) in SECC oversight as directed by Congressional mandate but the FCC makes that proactive on the part of the Governor in most cases. And the new rules would finally include the statement: "The [State EAS] plans are administered by State Emergency Communications Committees."... although there is still no Definition of what an SECC is. Regarding the Congressionally-mandated capability that national EAS alerts be repeated, the FCC wisely reminded that any EAS alert can be repeated by the alert originator simply reissuing the alert as many times as they want it heard (repeated). The FCC points out the many roadblocks of trying to have broadcaster EAS units automatically repeat national alerts; the FCC does not favor that method and did not propose such a rule. Lastly, there is a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) where the FCC asks for Comments on EAS participation by internet-related services and if EAS Participants could deliver EAS alerts via the internet in CAP format for use by user devices. If you are interested in Commenting, you don't have much time - see dates above.
