AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to send three reports to Congress. Within 180 days, the VA must report on the roles of all its offices involved in emergency management, including recommendations and an analysis of whether to combine them into one central office. Also within 180 days, the VA must report on its Regional Readiness Centers, including supply requests, inventory, expired supplies, operating costs, and plans to change the number of centers. Within 90 days, after consulting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the VA must report on limits that keep FEMA from providing fuel or other resources to the VA during emergencies and whether Congress needs to act.
