Thank you to our witnesses. I look forward to our conversation.

I think this is a really important point, and I would like this to be a takeaway probably for HI-EMA, that the GETS card is available to government leaders.

I want to thank Ms. Rosenworcel for her testimony.

Is it true that the person who clicked on the erroneous missile alert button on the screen is paid around $40,000 a year?

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your interest in the program and we look forward to collaborating with this subcommittee on ways the program can improve.

There are no best practices at this point.

But we have a voluntary program for missile alert notification. We have one state, zero territory, zero counties participating.

Had the vendor that they were using at the time had a 24/7 more robust training help desk capability.

We just want the origination of a notification of a missile alert to start with the people who know.

How do we get best practices if what your job is under normal circumstances to see what other states and counties are doing?

This is a absolutely solvable problem.

Thank you, Senator Hirono.

But I'm talking about a missile notification, which clearly we've learned from experience that there are different procedures, there are different protocols, there's more coordination, and it's, frankly, higher stakes.

We want to make sure that there is adequate training.

I think all of that is great, but I don't want to focus just on resources, which may be an issue...

Thank you both for being here.

time is of the essence, when we have mere minutes from the point that a missile is launched to point of impact
