Summary
The Emergency Reporting Act orders the Federal Communications Commission to hold at least one public hearing each year after the Disaster Information Reporting System is activated for a week or longer, and to issue a report on broadband, VoIP, and mobile service outages and their effect on 9‑1‑1 centers. It also directs the FCC to study how outage notifications can better support public‑safety agencies and to recommend rule changes. The aim is to increase transparency and improve the resilience of emergency communications.
