Introduction
Native Public Media petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a Missing and Endangered Persons (MEP) Event Code. The MEP Event Code will use the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) to distribute alerts to the public about missing or endangered persons 17 years and older, like the Amber Alert. IPAWS is available in all 50 states and the U.S. territories
