Emergency responders would get clearer information on federal communication tools during disasters.
This bill would help state, local, Tribal, and territorial emergency responders get better information about federal communication systems during disasters. It would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to review how it shares updates, look into improving its support for local officials, and create easy-to-understand guides.
Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) uses systems like DIRS and has ways to talk with public safety officials, but these might not fully help state, local, Tribal, and territorial emergency managers understand federal communication resources during disasters. If this bill becomes law, the FCC would review its DIRS notice procedures, evaluate ways to improve its support for emergency officials, and create new, easy-to-understand guides about federal communication and coordination mechanisms.
