Enhancing US Border Resilience Against Extreme Weather and Water Events.

This Act requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess how extreme weather affects its operations, infrastructure, and personnel safety.

This aims to make border crossings safer and more reliable for the public during hazardous conditions.
