Catastrophic Incident Plan: Ensuring Basic Needs for Citizens.

This law requires the government to improve planning for major disasters that could disable essential services like power or communication. The goal is to ensure citizens have access to basic needs like food and water and to better coordinate aid efforts.
Key points
The government must create a plan to provide food, water, shelter, and other basic needs during large-scale disasters.
The plan involves federal government coordination with states, local governments, businesses, and non-profits to deliver aid.
The law encourages citizens and local communities to prepare for crises to reduce reliance on government aid.
The plan will be tested through exercises to check its effectiveness in practice.
