This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to review how well NOAA Weather Radio reaches coastal communities at risk of tsunamis and share the results publicly. It also directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in coordination with NOAA and the Federal Communications Commission, to clarify which agency is responsible for using the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System to send tsunami alerts through the Emergency Alert System. The legislation aims to ensure that the public in tsunami-prone areas receives timely and reliable warning information during emergencies. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond requiring these reviews and documentation to be completed.
