The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed bipartisan legislation, introduced by Senators Alex Padilla and Lisa Murkowski, to extend the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP) through 2028. This initiative aims to improve earthquake preparedness, enhance scientific understanding, and promote risk mitigation on a national level.
The bill allocates $175.4 million annually to various federal agencies, including FEMA and USGS. The funding will support activities such as the development of early warning systems, hazard inventories, and provision of technical assistance to tribal governments. The legislation is now pending review by the House of Representatives.
