National Coordination on Adaptation and Resilience for Security Act of 2026

This bill would require the President to name a National Security Council employee as Chief Resilience Officer to coordinate federal work on resilience to natural hazards such as sea level rise, drought, and wildfire. The officer would set up interagency working groups and chair a new Partners Council on Resilience of up to 24 members, most from state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, nonprofits, and businesses. Within 2 years, the officer would submit a National Resilience Strategy and implementation plan to the President and Congress, update them every 3 years, and open drafts to 60 days of public comment. The officer would also create an online clearinghouse of resilience information within 1 year. The requirements would end after 10 years or after the third review by the Comptroller General, whichever comes first.
