Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency to strengthen its computer security systems and protections against cyberattacks. This would affect FEMA's ability to respond to disasters and emergencies by ensuring that critical systems for coordinating disaster relief, managing resources, and communicating with state and local agencies remain secure and operational during crises. The measure aims to prevent hackers from disrupting emergency response efforts when communities need help most.
