The Bureau is requiring commercial mobile service providers who participate in WEA (Participating CMS Providers) to support multilingual templates for the most commonly issued and most time-sensitive types of alerts in English, the next thirteen most commonly spoken languages in the United States, and American Sign Language (ASL). The non-ASL templates must be customizable with event- specific information that utilize four fillable elements: the name of the sending agency, the location, the time, and an optional URL. The alert templates for ASL are non-fillable and signed by a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). The Bureau requires WEA-capable mobile devices to accompany the display of templates with the corresponding English- language fillable template. The Bureau also announces the effective date of a previously announced amendment that was contingent on this action. Together, these steps further the Commission's goal of ensuring that WEA remains an essential and effective public safety tool that allows alert originators to warn their communities of danger and advise them to take protective action.","document_number":"2025-22434","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/12/10/2025-22434/wireless-emergency-alerts-and-the-emergency-alert-system","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-12-10/pdf/2025-22434.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-22434.pdf?1765287914","publication_date":"2025-12-10","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"the most commonly issued <span class=\"match\">alerts</span>, we analyzed publicly available Integrated Public <span class=\"match\">Alert</span> and <span class=\"match\">Warning</span> <span class=\"match\">System</span> (IPAWS) data from 2022 and identified nine <span class=\"match\">alert</span> types that we determined were among the most commonly issued <span class=\"match\">alerts</span> that were appropriate for template <span class=\"match\">alerts</span>.

Participating CMS Providers are to support this expanded multilingual alerting by enabling mobile devices to display message templates that will be pre-installed and stored on the mobile device. The Commission also directs its Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau to seek comment on various implementation details of the multilingual alerting requirements and future expansion to additional languages. In addition, to help personalize emergency alerts, the Commission requires participating wireless providers to support the inclusion of maps in WEA messages that show the alert recipient's location relative to the geographic area where the emergency is occurring, and establishes a Commission-hosted database to provide the public with easy-to-access information on WEA availability. Wireless providers will be required to supply information on whether they participate in WEA and, if so, the extent of WEA availability in their service area and on the mobile devices that they sell. Last, to support more effective WEA performance and public awareness, the amended rules enable alerting authorities to send two local WEA tests per year that the public receives by default, provided that the alerting authority takes steps to ensure that the public is aware that the test is, in fact, only a test.","document_number":"2023-27236","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/15/2023-27236/emergency-alert-system-wireless-emergency-alerts","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-12-15/pdf/2023-27236.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-27236.pdf?1702561517","publication_date":"2023-12-15","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION","name":"Federal Communications Commission","id":161,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-communications-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/161","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-communications-commission"}],"excerpts":"Report and Order \n addresses Wireless <span class=\"match\">Emergency</span> <span class=\"match\">Alerts</span> (WEA).
