For those interested in emergency communication, this is a new idea resulting from the communications breakdowns in New Orleans last year.
If you are a ham radio operator you especially need to be aware of this if you wish to help out.

In an emergency situation: Citizens tune your FRS radios to Channel 1 and transmit your emergency messages.
Ham radio and GRMS radio operators tune to 462.5625 MHz (the frequency that corresponds to FRS Channel 1) and relay the emergency messages to police & fire departments, and national rescue & relief agencies.
