Authorizes states to use leftover funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program for emergency warning infrastructure projects.
The SIREN Act of 2026 allows states to use remaining funds from the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program for projects involving emergency warning infrastructure, connectivity, and related systems. Eligible projects include the procurement, installation, or modernization of audible warning sirens or similar rapid notification technologies. States can establish competitive subgrant programs to fund these projects, prioritizing those where the state or a political subdivision has contributed at least 25% of the project cost. Funds cannot be used for operating or maintenance costs.
