Disaster Preparedness Plan: Ensuring Citizen Safety and Basic Needs
This act aims to create a national strategy to ensure basic needs like food, water, and shelter are met for citizens during major disasters that disrupt critical services. It means better preparation for government and communities in crisis situations, ensuring everyone can receive help even if infrastructure fails.
Key points
The U.S. government must develop a strategy to provide basic needs (food, water, shelter, communication) for civilians during catastrophic incidents.
The plan involves coordinating efforts with state, local, tribal governments, the private sector, and non-profit relief organizations.
The act promotes individual and local readiness for crises, reducing reliance on government relief.
National exercises will be conducted to test and improve the effectiveness of the disaster response plan.
