Landslide Preparedness Reauthorization: $35M for Early Warning Systems.
This law reauthorizes and strengthens the National Landslide Preparedness Act until 2030, increasing annual funding to $35 million. Crucially, at least $10 million is earmarked for purchasing and deploying early warning systems in high-risk areas, directly enhancing public safety and property protection. The program now explicitly focuses on risks associated with extreme weather events, such as atmospheric rivers and intense precipitation.
