 Keeping people on the coast safe. Northwest News Radio's Mendefactor tells us about a new bill introduced by a congressman from our state. Congressman Derek Kilmer of the 6th District has introduced bipartisan legislation aimed at improving tsunami alerts. It would implement recommendations from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. After a review of how the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sends tsunami alerts to the public, the GAO has recommended a number of changes, including delivering tsunami warnings to the emergency alert system.
