§775 National Emergency Family Registry and Locator System

Summary

Set up a National Emergency Family Registry and Locator System to help reunite families after an emergency or major disaster. The Administrator must create the system within 180 days after October 4, 2006. A "displaced individual" is someone forced to move by an emergency or disaster. The "National Emergency Family Registry and Locator System" is the database the Administrator must create. The system must let adults sign up voluntarily and let a parent or guardian sign up a child. It must collect basic personal details (like name and current location). The information must be available to people the displaced person names and to law enforcement. The system must work on the Internet and by a toll-free phone number. It must also be able to refer children to the National Emergency Child Locator Center. The Administrator must tell the public about the system by 210 days after October 4, 2006, make agreements with the Department of Justice, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Health and Human Services, the American Red Cross, and other private groups within 90 days after October 4, 2006, and send Congress a report on the system’s status and any problems, including funding, by 270 days after October 4, 2006.
