Fixing Gaps in Hurricane Preparedness Act
Key claim: A House bill to address gaps in hurricane preparedness has been introduced and sent to the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee for consideration.
Abstract
(HR4563 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-07-21): Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
Why this matters
Hurricane preparedness research sits at the intersection of NOAA, NSF, and FEMA-adjacent science programs, and bills referred to the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee can reshape the authorities and funding mechanisms available to those agencies. Tracking introduced bills — even before markup — helps surface which gaps Congress perceives in the current federal preparedness research portfolio and which agencies might get new mandates or coordination requirements.
