I want to thank the testifiers. I want to thank all three of our panels.

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

We want to make sure that there is adequate training.

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

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

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

There are no best practices at this point.

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

This is a absolutely solvable problem.

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

Could you follow up for the members and for the Committee, and especially for the other members of the delegation and members of the Armed Services Committee, to understand exactly how you're changing your procedures and your training to…

We're standing up this collaborative environment on Monday.

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

So if we're able to enact our legislation, all of our legislation, this would be moot.

I think that what Senator Schatz pointed out about our ability to communicate with each other, I just--I think that is quite the challenge to figure that out

I want to talk a little bit about the nature of these alerts.

It seems to me that the FCC has a real opportunity to drive change here.

On behalf of the Senate Commerce Committee, I would like to welcome everyone to today's hearing on Hawaii's Emergency Alert System.
