45-second read · 4 questions answered below
This law, called "Lulu's Law," directs the FCC to officially add shark attacks to the list of emergencies that can trigger a Wireless Emergency Alert. The FCC has 180 days from when the law was signed to issue this order. It does not require alerts to be sent, but clarifies that officials may use the system for shark-related dangers.
The law affects beachgoers, coastal communities, and local or state public safety agencies, such as beach patrols and lifeguards, in areas where sharks are a concern.
Before this law, shark attacks were not explicitly listed as a qualifying event for wireless alerts, which may have caused confusion about whether officials could use the system for this purpose. The change gives officials a clear legal basis to send such alerts.
