Bill information
Summary
To amend title 10, United States Code, to include the hardening of infrastructure in support of disaster mitigation in the definition of humanitarian and civic assistance.
Plain-language summary
This bill expands what the military can do to help communities by adding infrastructure hardening to its humanitarian and civic assistance work. Infrastructure hardening means making structures more resistant to damage from disasters like hurricanes or floods. Currently, military humanitarian work focuses on relief and rebuilding after disasters occur. This bill would let the military also help communities prepare and protect themselves before disasters happen. The bill is sponsored by Representatives Katie Porter, Ed Case, James Moylan, and Nancy Mace. It has recently been introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of consideration.
