The goal is to identify any gaps or weaknesses in the current system and make recommendations for improvements to enhance the overall effectiveness of emergency alerting systems. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1076 aims to ensure that emergency alerting systems are efficient, reliable, and accessible to all individuals in the United States during times of crisis. The study conducted by the Comptroller General will provide valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of these critical communication tools.
