Bill Summary: HR 4058 - Enhancing Stakeholder Support and Outreach for Preparedness Grants Act
The Enhancing Stakeholder Support and Outreach for Preparedness Grants Act (HR 4058) aims to improve the effectiveness of federal preparedness grant programs by enhancing stakeholder engagement and outreach initiatives. The bill seeks to address the need for better communication and support mechanisms for state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders involved in emergency preparedness and response.
Key Provisions:
Stakeholder Engagement: The bill mandates the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy for stakeholder outreach, ensuring that grant recipients and potential applicants are well-informed about available preparedness grants and the application process.
Training and Technical Assistance: HR 4058 requires FEMA to provide training and technical assistance to stakeholders, focusing on best practices for grant application and management. This aims to enhance the capacity of local entities to effectively utilize federal funding for preparedness initiatives.
Public Awareness Campaigns: The legislation encourages the establishment of public awareness campaigns to promote preparedness at the community level, thereby fostering a culture of readiness among citizens.
Funding and Authorities: The bill does not specify additional funding but emphasizes the reallocation of existing resources within FEMA to support the proposed outreach and training initiatives. It leverages existing authorities under the Stafford Act and related emergency management statutes.
Affected Programs and Agencies: The primary agency affected by this legislation is FEMA, which oversees various preparedness grant programs, including the Homeland Security Grant Program and the Emergency Management Performance Grant Program.
Beneficiaries: State and local governments, non-profit organizations, and community-based entities involved in emergency preparedness will benefit from improved access to resources and information. The general public will also benefit from increased awareness and preparedness efforts.
Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 4058 was received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for further consideration. Further legislative action and timelines will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent Senate proceedings.
