| 2016-05275 | Rules Regarding the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts | Proposed Rule | This document proposes taking the next step towards strengthening the nation's public alert and warning systems, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), as community-driven public safety tools capable of ensuring that the public is able to receive and properly respond to alerts issued by alerting authorities in emergency situations. This document seeks comment on proposed rule changes in four areas: Improving alerting organization at the state and local levels; building effective community-based public safety exercises; ensuring that alerting mechanisms are able to leverage advancements in technology, including IP-based technologies; and securing the EAS against accidental misuse and malicious intrusion. By this action, the Commission affords interested parties an opportunity to submit comments on these proposed rule changes. Through this action, the Commission hopes to empower state and local alert originators to participate more fully in WEA, and to enhance the utility of EAS and WEA as an alerting tool. | 2016-03-24 | 2016 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/03/24/2016-05275/rules-regarding-the-emergency-alert-system-and-wireless-emergency-alerts | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-03-24/pdf/2016-05275.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | This document proposes taking the next step towards strengthening the nation's public alert and warning systems, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), as community-driven public safety tools capable of ensuring that the... |
