(A) The cable system shall include an “emergency alert” capability which will permit the chairperson or his or her designee to override, by remote control, the video and/or audio of all channels simultaneously broadcasting in the case of public emergencies. The franchisee shall designate a channel which will be used for emergency broadcasts.
(B) The franchisee shall maintain equipment capable of providing standby powering for the head-end. The equipment shall be constructed so as to automatically notify the cable office when it is in operation and to automatically revert to the standby mode when the AC power returns.
