- Federal emergency alert funding for rural public media stations is in jeopardy due to Congress rescinding previously allocated funds, leaving communities with outdated infrastructure and increased risks from extreme weather.
- Many stations received grant awards for critical upgrades like backup generators, but delays and stop-work orders mean projects cannot proceed, potentially undermining rural access to emergency information during disasters.
- The government heavily relies on public broadcasters for emergency alerts, as these stations often function during outages when other communication channels fail.
