FEMA would speed up emergency warning system grants and research to improve public safety.
This bill would make the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) fully responsible for a grant program that helps communities improve their emergency warning systems. It would ensure money already set aside for these systems gets to local communities faster. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to research ways to make these warnings better and more accessible for everyone.
Today, the administration and disbursement of funds for the Next Generation Warning System grant program may be delayed or unclear. After this bill, FEMA would fully manage the program, releasing all obligated 2022 budget year funds within 180 days and starting new grants for the 2023 and 2024 budget years. The Department of Homeland Security would also begin research to make emergency warnings better and more reliable.
