First Informer Broadcasters Act

The First Informer Broadcasters Act concerns the role of broadcast stations and their personnel during emergencies, treating designated broadcast staff as "first informers" whose work keeping the public informed is recognized alongside other emergency functions. It defines which stations and which individuals fall within its scope, so that the protections and obligations it creates attach only to qualifying parties. Its principal operating mechanism is a program for training and certifying eligible personnel as first informer broadcasters.
