Radio messages can be divided into four categories:
- Routine
Routine traffic has no urgency and accounts for 99% of all two-way radio talk.
- Priority (has a time limit)
These can be public media dispatches and emergency traffic not of the utmost
urgency but having a time limit; for example, a priority can be a notice of death or
injury in a disaster area, whether personal or official.
- Health & Welfare
This is an inquiry or advisory as to condition.
- Emergency
Emergency has life or death urgency to a person or group of persons. This includes
official messages from welfare agencies requesting supplies, materials, or
instructions that are vital to relief efforts.
