This bill would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to take over running the Next Generation Warning System grant program. FEMA would have to pay out, within 180 days, all fiscal year 2022 program funds that are already obligated. FEMA would also have to begin awarding grants with program funds provided for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Within one year, the Department of Homeland Security would carry out research to improve the accessibility, resiliency, and security of emergency warning systems, and it would report to Congress on that research within two years.
