Emergency Captioning

In Case of Emergency

Whether there is breaking news of national or local importance, severe weather, or unforeseen events in the community your broadcast station serves, emergency coverage ensures that your viewers stay well-informed and out of harm’s way. Because emergencies affect everyone, emergency broadcasts must be accessible to everyone. This is not only a common sense consideration but also an explicit FCC directive. FCC rules state that all emergency broadcasts “intended to further the protection of life, health, safety, and property” must be made accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers. Day or night, if you make the decision to go to emergency coverage, NCI stands prepared to provide high-quality closed captions at a moment’s notice.
