The government fixed a typo in the rules for multilingual emergency alerts
What happened
The Federal Communications Commission corrected a date in its new rules for Wireless Emergency Alerts. This means the rules for sending emergency messages in multiple languages will now take effect on the correct date.
Why it matters
This document is a minor administrative correction. It does not change the substance of the rules for multilingual emergency alerts, only the date they become effective. It ensures that the new requirements for emergency alert systems will be implemented on the intended schedule.
The signal
Watch for the actual implementation of multilingual emergency alerts by wireless carriers on the corrected effective date.
