This is from the Technician class question pool. It indicates to me that operating outside of licensed privileges in the context of this request for volunteers would not be permitted by the FCC. Since I lost the formatting, the (D) indicates that (D) is the correct answer. Exceeding your privileges as part of an emergency plan is not sanctioned, but for immediate life-threatening emergencies, it is. A lot of people use the term "disasters" vs. "emergencies" to distinguish those meanings.
T2C09 (D)
Are amateur station control operators ever permitted to operate outside the frequency privileges of their license class?
A. No
B. Yes, but only when part of a FEMA emergency plan
C. Yes, but only when part of a RACES emergency plan
D. Yes, but only if necessary in situations involving the immediate safety of human life or protection of property
On an unrelated note, I'm actually not entirely sure if the FCC rules even apply to Puerto Rico, being a territory... Do you know?
