What: Proposal for an active shooter emergency alert (a public warning, similar to fire alerts) raised after the May 18, 2026 attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego.
Where it stands: No agenda item yet. A Council Member committed to work with city operations and the Police Department on how such an alert could work, and a second Council Member said the framework should be looked at by the Council. Culturally aware messaging was stressed.
Raised by public speakers during the hearing on Islamophobia Working Definition Resolution and picked up by Council Members in discussion; later a remote caller asked why the wireless emergency alert system was not used on May 18.
