Modernize and improve the National Terrorism Advisory System so alerts are more understandable, reach more people, and provide practical information based on today's threats and how people get information.

Our bipartisan legislation will help make sure alerts reach more people and provide practical, easy-to-understand information when it matters most.

Pou introduced legislation to overhaul the National Terrorism Advisory System so warnings are clearer, more useful, and better distributed.

By consulting with law enforcement, first responders, transportation officials, security experts, and the public, the legislation would help DHS identify ways to update the system so it is more useful for the public and for those responsible for keeping our communities safe.

The bill directs DHS to consult multiple stakeholders when updating the terrorism alert system.

Pou said the legislation would help make sure alerts 'reach more people' and provide 'practical, easy-to-understand information' and would reflect 'today’s threats and how people get their information in 2026.'

Shows the claim’s core policy intent, but it is a sponsor statement rather than proof of delivery. Useful context for what the bill sought to accomplish.

DHS says NTAS advisories provide a concise summary of the potential threat, information about actions being taken to ensure public safety, and recommended steps individuals, communities, businesses and governments can take.

Establishes the baseline design of NTAS. This does not show the system was modernized in response to Pou’s bill, but it helps gauge the target of the proposal.
