The TRA has issued the "Draft Emergency Communications Plan" for public consultation to check with the relevant stakeholders on the potential uses of telecommunications systems and services during national emergencies. This public consultation will gather the viewpoints of the providers of telecommunications services and the users of the mentioned services (citizens, public and private institutions, relief organizations, etc…) regarding their requirements and technical abilities for an efficient and reliable telecommunications infrastructure and services. This consultation will allow the TRA to determine the status of telecommunications networks and their ability to work during and after a disaster and the requirements of relief organizations toward realizing a telecommunications emergency plan.

The "Draft Emergency Communications Plan" is being currently launched for public consultation. Consultation feedback is due by May 7th, 2012.
