I. INTRODUCTION

This section provides technical information on radio frequencies used in the County Operational Area and the locations of the various County facilities which contain DCS/RACES equipment.

Although many cities have their own fully equipped EOCs, this manual has not attempted to list them and their equipment due to the many changes made each year throughout the County.

II. COUNTY INFORMATION CENTER

The County Information Center (CIC) is part of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department communication center complex located at 1277 North Eastern Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90063. The telephone number of the Department Sergeant assigned to DCS/RACES is 213 267-2521.

III. DISTRICT INFORMATION CENTERS

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has established Sheriffs Stations which are assigned a specific geographic area of responsibility. They are also known as Station Emergency Operating Centers. The DCS/RACES facility at each station or district is known as the District Information Center (DIC). Each station is assigned a numerical identifier. For DCS purposes, letter designations have also been assigned for use where a number might be confusing. Cities in Los Angeles County are assigned post-script letter identifiers. These identifiers are listed in Appendix B. For example, the City of Huntington Park will be identified as 24 C.

The related district radio call signs are as follows: For example:

DIC Station --- (Sheriff’s Station Number) East Los Angeles is identified as Station 2.

POSITION NUMERICAL DCO *01 ADCO *02 For example, East Los Angeles DOO *03 DCO would be B01. MEMBER *04 - 799

Where * is the Station Letter, See Section I, Part III, Subparagraph D for these letters. NEW GRID DCS/RACE STATION S PHONES OLD GRID PHONES

APPENDIX C - FCC RACES RULES Subsection E – Providing Emergency Communications

97.401 Operating during a disaster.

(a) When normal communication systems are overloaded, damaged or disrupted because a disaster has occurred, or is likely to occur, in an area where the amateur is regulated by the FCC, an amateur station may make transmissions necessary to meet essential communications needs and facilitate relief actions.

(b) When normal communication systems are overloaded, damaged or disrupted because a natural disaster has occurred, or is likely to occur, in an area where the amateur is not regulated by the FCC, a station assisting in meeting essential communications needs and facilitating relief actions may do so only in accord with ITU Resolution No. 640 (Geneva, 1979). The 80 m, 75 m, 40 m, 30 m, 20 m, 17 m, 15 m, 12 m, and 2 m bands may be used for these purposes.

(c) When disaster disrupts normal communication systems in a particular area, the FCC may declare a temporary state of communication emergency. The declaration will set forth any special conditions and special rules to be observed by stations during the communication emergency. A request for a declaration of a temporary state of emergency should be directed to the EIC in the area concerned.

(d) A station in, or within 92.6 km of, Alaska may transmit emissions BE and R3E on the channel at 5.1675 Mhz for emergency communications. The channel must be shared with stations licensed in the Alaska-private fixed service. The transmitter power must not exceed ISO w.

97.403 Safety of life and protection of property.

No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station of any means of radio communication at its disposal to provide essential communication needs in connection with the immediate safety of human life and immediate protection of property when normal communication systems are not available.

97.405 Stations in distress.

(a) No provision of these rules prevents the use by an amateur station in distress of any means at its disposal to attract attention, make known its condition and location, and obtain assistance.

(b) No provision of these rules prevents the use by a station, in the exceptional circumstances described in paragraph (a), of any means of radio communications at it disposal to assist a station in distress.

97.407 Radio amateur civil emergency service.

(a) No station may transmit in RACES unless it is an FCC-licensed primary, club, or military recreation station and it is certified by a civil defense organization as registered with that organization, or it is an FCC-licensed RACES station.

(b) The frequency bands and segments and emissions authorized to the control operator are available to stations transmitting communications in RACES on a shared basis with the amateur service. In the event of an emergency which necessitates the invoking of the President's War Emergency Powers under the provision of Section 706 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. paragraph 606, RACES stations and amateur stations participating in RACES may only transmit on the following frequencies:

(c) A RACES station may only communicate with: (1) Another RACES station; (2) An amateur station registered with a civil defense organization; (3) A United States Government station authorized by the responsible agency to communicate with RACES stations; (4) A station in a service regulated by the FCC whenever such communication is authorized by the FCC. (d) An amateur station registered with a civil defense organization may only communicate with: (1) A RACES station licensed to the civil defense organization with which the amateur station is registered; (2) The following stations upon authorization of the responsible civil defense official for the organization with which the amateur station is registered:

i. A RACES station licensed to another civil defense organization; ii. An amateur station registered with the same or another civil defense organization; iii.
