Bill > HR2892

This bill, the Weather Alert Response and Notification Act (WARN Act), directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the effectiveness of local, state, and federal emergency alerting systems in disseminating timely and relevant information during weather-related emergencies. The study will evaluate the efficacy of various alert mediums, including social media, to disseminate alerts, assess the guidance and training for developing alert content, and determine whether improvements could be made based on input from emergency managers, local officials, and community groups. The Comptroller General will submit a report on the study's findings to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
