Interested participants must register in advance using the link below. After registering, you will receive a calendar invite with webinar information.

In observance of this year’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day on May 5, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) and Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) will co-host a webinar.  This informational opportunity will describe the new Missing and Endangered Persons (MEP) Emergency Alert System (EAS) event code.  The MEP code could enable a more rapid and coordinated response to missing and endangered person incidents by allowing alert originators to use the EAS to issue a wider range of alerts, to get the word out about missing persons.

During the webinar, attendees will be provided with information about:

• What is the new MEP emergency alert code?
• What’s the timeline for implementation?
• What can people do now to prepare?

The presentation slide deck will be shared after the webinar.

Questions about the webinar or to schedule a meeting to discuss how to collaborate with the FCC on providing information to your community can be emailed to Native@fcc.gov or IGA@fcc.gov.
