Lulu’s Law

What this bill does

  • The bill requires the FCC to explicitly allow wireless emergency alerts to be sent to mobile phones during shark attacks.
  • Mobile phone users in coastal areas and beach communities would receive these emergency notifications.
  • The bill has no fiscal cost and would clarify existing FCC authority to issue shark attack warnings.

  1. 01

    How would coastal communities determine which shark incidents warrant an emergency alert versus local advisory systems?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that wireless emergency alerts reach people faster or more effectively than current beach warning methods during shark attacks?

  3. 03

    Should shark attack alerts use the same emergency notification system as hurricanes and floods, or warrant a separate alert category?
