Strengthening City Security Against Radiological and Nuclear Threats
This Act improves the "Securing the Cities" program, which helps local communities prepare for terrorist attacks using nuclear or radiological materials. Changes include new criteria for selecting cities, better measurement of program effectiveness, and increased Congressional oversight. This means residents can feel safer knowing their cities are better prepared for potential threats.
Key points
Cities will be selected for the program based on their preparedness and response capabilities, as well as threat levels, rather than just being high-risk urban areas.
The program will have clear performance metrics and milestones, ensuring better use of public funds.
Congress will receive regular reports on program progress, increasing transparency and accountability.
