As an ex-broadcaster, I have never seen one of these letters. Even
during our 1989 earthquake. In fact, I knew of one station that
ordered a genset as power was down after the earthquake for several days
and it was commandeered by LE as they were being driven to the
transmitter site, three times! Three different gensets!

Occasionally, DHS issues these letters after natural disasters such as
hurricanes for hospitals and critical facilities. I haven't heard of
them issued for pandemics.
