2.8 National emergency telecommunications plan


Collaboration in the definition of civil emergency planning policies for the communications sector is another duty set out in ICP-ANACOM?s statutes. In this context, in 2002 ICP-ANACOM began the work related to the revision of the draft national telecommunications emergency plan in close cooperation with the National Civil Protection Service, which has the supervision of the national emergency plan.

Meanwhile, also in 2002, the government approved modifications to the structure of the emergency planning commissions, including the Emergency Communications Planning Commission, whose chairmanship was assigned to the president of ICP-ANACOM (Decree-Law no. 128/2002 of 11 May).
