Bill Summary
To direct the Secretary of Commerce, acting through the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to establish a National Coastal Data Information System, and for other purposes. This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish a National Coastal Data Information System. NOAA must use the system to (1) combine existing observations, modeling, predictions, products and services into an integrated framework for producing and maintaining authoritative and timely data, maps, and information services which quantify and communicate coastal flood risk to the states; (2) develop and strengthen partnerships with organizations that represent end users within coastal communities to better assess information gaps and needs relating to the risk posed by the rising sea level; and (3) produce new information products and services, targeted to end-user needs, that allow coastal communities across the United States to plan for present and future coastal flood risk.
AI Summary
This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish a National Coastal Data Information System. The system will combine existing coastal data and information to quantify and communicate coastal flood risk to states. NOAA will also develop partnerships with coastal communities to assess their information needs related to sea level rise, and produce new products and services to help these communities plan for present and future coastal flood risk. The bill also requires NOAA to provide Congress with a report every 3 years analyzing the need to expand coastal observations, modeling, and predictions to improve understanding of changing coastal flood risk and track sea level rise compared to national assessments.
