Media Security and Reliability Council (MSRC)
The Media Security and Reliability Council (MSRC) is a U.S. federal advisory committee created by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2002. It is comprised of executive representatives from broadcasters, satellite service providers, trade associations, public safety representatives, manufacturers and other related media entities.
MSRC’s goals include preparing broadcasters for national emergencies, mitigating potential dangers, maintaining their facilities and ensuring the safety and security of their staff members. With the completion of MSRC Phase II, MSRC preparedness documents (for TV, Radio, Cable and Satellite) are now available. These documents include guidelines and tool kits to assist the community in local planning activities to ensure reliability of media services in the case of national emergencies, including natural disasters to terrorist attacks.
