Bill > HR4579

This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to enhance the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) cybersecurity capabilities. Specifically, the bill requires FEMA to focus on mitigating cybersecurity risks that could potentially disrupt agency operations. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the FEMA Administrator must submit a report to congressional committees detailing the agency's progress in addressing these cybersecurity risks. The report will be developed in consultation with the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a component of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats. By adding language about cybersecurity risk mitigation to the existing law, the bill aims to improve FEMA's preparedness and resilience against potential cyber attacks that could compromise its ability to respond to emergencies and disasters.
