Michigan HB4427 mandates county officials to issue a brown alert for dangerous E. coli or sewage levels in local waters.

Michigan HB4427 amends the Michigan Public Health Code by adding a provision that requires county officials to notify the emergency management coordinator if they find dangerous levels of E. coli or sewage in local waters. The emergency management coordinator must then issue a brown alert within 12 hours, informing residents about the contamination's location and health risks. The alert is disseminated through the Wireless Emergency Alerts system.
