Urgence locale - Local area emergency

Urgence locale ( SAME code: LAE) est un avis émis par les autorités locales par le biais du système d'alerte d'urgence (EAS) aux États-Unis pour informer le public d'un événement qui ne constitue pas une menace significative pour la sécurité publique et / ou la propriété par elle-même, mais pourrait s'aggraver, contribuer à d'autres événements plus graves ou perturber les services essentiels de sécurité publique. Des instructions, autres que des actions de protection du public, peuvent être fournies. Les exemples incluent: une interruption du service d'eau, d'électricité ou de gaz naturel, des fermetures de routes en raison de chutes de neige excessives ou une menace terroriste potentielle où le public est invité à rester vigilant.
