The Commission for the Regulatory of Telecommunications (CRT) in Mexico has begun a public consultation process aimed at updating the 'Presidential Alert' message that is sent to mobile phones during emergencies. This initiative seeks to change the term used for the alert and to standardize the preventive message delivered to users across different devices. The consultation is intended to gather feedback from the public, specialists, licensees, and manufacturers to ensure that the updated guidelines meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.

As part of this process, the CRT announced that on January 29, the review of the alert message under the Common Alert Protocol was approved. This protocol is significant because it activates alerts on all cell phones in case of emergencies, providing timely notifications to the public. The changes proposed will not only refine the messaging but also enhance the effectiveness of the alert system in communicating urgent information to citizens.

The CRT's invitation for public participation in this consultation reflects an effort to involve the community and relevant experts in shaping a critical aspect of national emergency communication. By updating the Presidential Alert message, the CRT aims to improve clarity and responsiveness, reinforcing the importance of effective communication during crises within Mexico.
