WARN Act

H.R. 1076 would direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a comprehensive study on how well emergency alerting systems work. This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. If enacted, the study would evaluate the effectiveness of systems used to alert the public during emergencies, which could inform future improvements to how Americans receive critical safety information during disasters and other urgent situations. The bill has bipartisan support with 32 cosponsors from both parties.
