[FedCom] FEMA

[Arthur-Bryan E. Phelps]

If you do a Google search for FEMA frequencies as I did the first three
sites listed:

138.2250 VHF 138.5750 VHF 139.1000 VHF 139.8250 VHF
139.4500 VHF 139.2250 VHF 139.9500 VHF 140.0250 VHF 140.9000 VHF 141.7250
VHF
141.8750 VHF 141.9500 VHF 142.0250 VHF 142.2300 VHF 142.3500 VHF 142.3750
VHF
142.4000 VHF 142.4250 VHF 142.9250 VHF 142.9500 VHF 142.9750 VHF 143.0000
VHF
143.0500 VHF 143.2500 VHF 143.6000 VHF 143.6250 VHF 163.1000 VHF 164.8625
VHF
165.6625 VHF 166.2250 VHF 167.9250 VHF 167.9750 VHF 168.3500 VHF 169.2500
VHF
169.6000 VHF 169.8750 VHF 170.2000 VHF 173.1875 VHF

I'll be the first to admit, however, that none of the sites have been
updated in years. Also, only one site said "frequencies used by FEMA".

I guess I've always assumed that the reason FEMA originally used the 138-144
segment (instead of, say 162-174) was because they were set up expressly to
liase with the military.  No doubt this will continue to be the case.  So
the question becomes:  What band will the military be using for primary
comms?  If it continues to be 138-144, 148-150.8, then FEMA will no doubt be
there too, in addition to it's stand-alone uhf system(s).  If the military
opts for 380-400, then doubtless FEMA will have liason frequencies there
too.
