AI Summary
This bill, the Climate Resiliency Service Corps Act of 2019, aims to amend the National and Community Service Act of 1990 to establish a climate resiliency service corps. This corps would help communities withstand and respond to changes in the Earth's climate, especially related to natural disasters, through activities such as assessing community resilience, building and maintaining resilient infrastructure, providing disaster preparedness and response training, and supporting disaster recovery efforts. The bill also creates a Climate Resiliency AmeriCorps VISTA program to address the capacity of low-income communities to implement climate resilience projects. Additionally, the bill provides qualified corpsmembers with noncompetitive hiring authority for the competitive civil service, similar to what is afforded to former Peace Corps volunteers.
