DHS letters for fuel and facility access

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!
