FCC’s New Homeland Security Unit
Alice Lipowicz writes on GCN.com:
The Federal Communications Commission has voted unanimously to establish a new Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.More here.
The new unit will oversee issues such as disaster management, spectrum licensing for public safety agencies, 911 call centers, and alert and warning communications, the FCC said in a news release. Furthermore, the unit will address communications infrastructure protection and interoperability for public safety.
Congress must be notified of the changes before they become effective, and the commission must secure union approval for issues affecting its workforce.
