FCC proposes enhancements to Wireless Emergency Alerts

The Federal Communications Commission has proposed rules to strengthen
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), a system that delivers critical warnings
and information to Americans on their wireless phones

The proposals are intended to promote the wider use and effectiveness of
this lifesaving service, especially for state and local authorities to
convey important information to their communities.

Since its launch in 2012, WEA has informed Americans about severe weather,
missing children, and other emergencies via text-like alerts to their
wireless phones. Now that the FCC has three years’ experience with the
service, and in light of stakeholder feedback and technological
advancements since the FCC adopted technical and procedural requirements
for WEA in 2008, the agency is seeking comment on potential enhancements.

In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission proposed changes
to improve WEA message content, ensure that the messages reach only those
people for whom an alert is relevant, and to establish a WEA testing
program that will improve the effectiveness of the system for public safety
officials and the public.
