More support and money for communities to get ready for and handle landslides, especially from heavy rain.
This bill updates and extends the National Landslide Preparedness Act until 2030. It raises annual funding for the U.S. Geological Survey to $35 million. The bill aims to better track and respond to landslides, particularly those from heavy rains and atmospheric rivers. It also expands support and grants to Native Hawaiian and Tribal organizations, helping more communities protect against landslide risks.
Today, the National Landslide Preparedness Act helps communities prepare for landslides with $25 million in annual funding. If this bill passes, the Act would be reauthorized until 2030, and annual funding would increase to $35 million, with a specific portion set aside for early warning systems. It would also formally recognize and address the risks from extreme weather events like atmospheric rivers, and expand support to more Indigenous communities.
