At a field hearing of the Senate Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet in Honolulu Thursday, Rosenworcel said the agency could take a number of steps, including making states more accountable when they file their annual confirmation of Emergency Alert Systems. She said that Hawaii's plan was over a decade old.

"We should make this process a meaningful one by making sure every plan is up to date," she said. She added that the FCC could use these annual filings to make sure local, state and federal agencies are adhering to best practices, including security protocols.
