Creates a new board to investigate major severe weather disasters and improve future responses.
This bill would create a National Weather Safety Board. This new board would investigate major severe weather events like hurricanes and floods to understand how agencies prepared and responded. The goal is to make recommendations that help protect people and property better in future disasters.
Today, there is no independent National Weather Safety Board to investigate how federal agencies prepare for and respond to major severe weather events. If this bill becomes law, a new board would be created to investigate disasters, especially those causing at least 10 deaths or 100 injuries. This board would then make public recommendations to improve how agencies handle future weather emergencies.
