## Summary

**This bill would create a federal,** **standards-driven framework for measuring and enforcing wireless emergency alert (WEA) performance**. It would also push for multilingual alerting and require clearer opt-out warnings. - Families and households would get stronger guarantees on alert quality. The bill sets metrics for speed, reliability, and "overshoot" and ties minimum standards to the most recent FCC WEA test. - People with limited English would see focused work on translation. The FCC must complete a translation-technology study within 180 days and run pilots within 1 year of positive findings to test multilingual accuracy and comprehension. - Wireless providers and the FCC would face new reporting and oversight duties. The FCC must write rules within 18 months, require participating providers to report data at least annually, publish yearly compliance results, and review and update standards every 5 years. Enforcement is aligned with the Communications Act.
