Bill > S4815

This bill establishes the National Disaster Safety Board, an independent executive branch agency that will review natural hazards, public health incidents, and technological disasters to determine the facts, circumstances, and causes behind the loss of life, human injury, and economic injury. The Board's purpose is to reduce future loss of life, injury, and economic harm by learning from these incidents in a standardized way and making recommendations to address systemic causes, with a focus on lifesaving and injury prevention, especially for disproportionately impacted communities. The bill outlines the Board's authority, procedures, staffing, and funding, as well as requirements for federal agencies to respond to the Board's recommendations.
