Bill overview
This bill proposed creating a statewide emergency alert system called ‘California Alert’ to improve how the state notifies residents of emergencies. The system would utilize Wireless Emergency Alerts and contract with a private vendor to send alerts to registered phone numbers, regardless of location. It also aimed to establish standards for issuing alerts across different local jurisdictions, acting as a backup to existing local systems.
