Bill overview
The Emergency Reporting Act directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to improve how it tracks and reports on emergency communications outages. Specifically, the FCC must hold annual public hearings about events triggering the Disaster Information Reporting System (DIRS), issue detailed reports about these events including outage numbers and durations, and recommend changes to FCC rules to enhance network resilience. The bill also requires an investigation into the value of visual information in outage notifications for public safety agencies and proposes adjustments to outage reporting thresholds.
