Amber Alert

Beach goers along Alabama’s Gulf coast will get more than amber alerts and weather warnings on their cell phones. The shark attack messaging system associated with the passage of “Lulu’s law” in the state legislature quietly went into effect today.

An Alabama teen who narrowly survived a fierce shark attack last year said she hopes a proposed alert system before state lawmakers can help keep others safe in the water. Lulu Gribbin, now 16, was one of three people bitten by a shark last year, during a string of attacks off the Florida Panhandle.
