Locally, Teton County Emergency Management has access and authority to activate the EAS along with several other key groups. We have local devices that we use to alert the public, and we can also access parts of the state and federal EAS to distribute messages as the situation dictates.
We have access to several methods of communication during a disaster. At the federal level, we can have the National Weather Service (NWS) send messages for us over their NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radio network.
With one press of the button from the NWS office in Riverton, they can send our message out to all NOAA All-Hazards Weather Radios (which, with the alert function, will turn on automatically), local television, and local radio. Additionally, these messages will be broadcast over Wyoming's law enforcement teletype network, delivering the message to dispatch centers all over our area.

Additionally, local, state, and federal government has access to several portable electronic highway signs that may be deployed during an emergency.
