National Emergency Alert for Telecommunications

Overview
The National Emergency Alert for Telecommunications (NEAT) is a protocol for sharing information among members of the EC-RRG, and is triggered in the event of circumstances that may effect the operation of telecommunications networks. The process provides a conduit for information between industry members of EC-RRG, between industry and government and within members' organisations that enables the widest possible picture of impacts to be assessed.
