Title: National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2018
Policy area: Emergency Management

Summary:
National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2018
This bill amends the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 1977 to expand activities under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program to include: (1) gathering information on community resilience (i.e., the ability of a community to prepare for, recover from, and adapt to earthquakes); (2) publishing a systematic set of maps of active faults and folds, liquefaction susceptibility, susceptibility for earthquake-induced landslides, and other seismically induced hazards; and (3) continuing the development of the Advanced National Seismic System, including earthquake early warning capabilities.
With respect to earthquake hazard reduction activities, the bill revises or expands the duties of: (1) the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Earthquake Hazards Reduction, (2) the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), (3) the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), (4) the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and (5) the National Science Foundation.
The Government Accountability Office shall complete a review of federal earthquake hazard risk reduction efforts.
NIST and FEMA must jointly convene a committee of experts to assess and recommend options for improving seismic safety standards for federal buildings. The USGS must submit to Congress a five-year management plan for the continued operation of the Advanced National Seismic System.

  To reauthorize and amend the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction 
                    Program, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``National Earthquake Hazards 
Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2018''.

SEC. 2. MODIFICATION OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Section 2 of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 
1977 (42 U.S.C. 7701) is amended--
            (1) in paragraph (1)--
                    (A) by inserting ``, and the Commonwealth of Puerto 
                Rico'' after ``States'';
                    (B) by inserting ``Oregon,'' after ``New York,''; 
                and
                    (C) by inserting ``Tennessee,'' after ``South 
                Carolina'';
            (2) in paragraph (2), by striking ``prediction techniques 
        and'';
            (3) by striking paragraph (4) and inserting the following:
            ``(4) A well-funded seismological research program could 
        provide the scientific understanding needed to fully implement 
        an effective earthquake early warning system.'';
            (4) in paragraphs (6) and (7), by striking ``lifelines'' 
        each place it appears and inserting ``lifeline 
        infrastructure''; and
            (5) by adding at the end the following:
            ``(12) The built environment has generally been constructed 
        and maintained to meet the needs of the users under normal 
        conditions. When earthquakes occur, the built environment is 
        generally designed to prevent severe injuries or loss of human 
        life and is not expected to remain operational or able to 
        recover under any specified schedule.
            ``(13) The National Research Council published a study on 
        reducing hazards and risks associated with earthquakes based on 
        the goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake 
        resilience described in the strategic plan entitled `Strategic 
        Plan for the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program'. 
        The study and an accompanying report called for work in 18 
        tasks focused on research, preparedness, and mitigation and 
        annual funding of approximately $300,000,000 per year for 20 
        years.''.
    (b) Purpose.--Section 3 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 7702) is amended--
            (1) in the matter preceding paragraph (1), in the first 
        sentence, by inserting ``and increase the resilience of 
        communities'' after ``future earthquakes'';
            (2) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``to individuals and the 
        communities'' after ``an earthquake'';
            (3) in paragraph (2), by striking ``in time of disaster'' 
        and inserting ``to facilitate community-wide post-earthquake 
        recovery and in times of disaster'';
            (4) in paragraph (3), by striking ``for predicting damaging 
        earthquakes and'';
            (5) in paragraph (4), by inserting ``and planning'' after 
        ``model building''; and
            (6) in paragraph (5), by striking ``reconstruction'' and 
        inserting ``re-occupancy, recovery, reconstruction,''.
    (c) Definitions.--
            (1) Lifeline infrastructure.--
                    (A) In general.--Section 4(6) of such Act (42 
                U.S.C. 7703(6)) is amended by striking ``lifelines'' 
                and inserting ``lifeline infrastructure''.
                    (B) Conforming amendment.--Such Act (42 U.S.C. 7701 
                et seq.) is amended by striking ``lifelines'' each 
                place it appears and inserting ``lifeline 
                infrastructure''.
            (2) Community resilience.--Section 4 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
        7703) is amended by adding at the end the following:
            ``(10) The term `community resilience' means the ability of 
        a community to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and 
        more successfully adapt to adverse seismic events.''.

                risks and hazards resulting from tsunamis and 
                landslides that are generated by earthquakes;
                    (B) the efforts of the Federal Emergency Management 
                Agency and the National Institute of Standards and 
                Technology to improve the resilience of the United 
                States to earthquakes and to identify important gaps in 
                the resilience of the United States to earthquakes;

                earthquake risk and hazards reduction supported by the 
                National Science Foundation during the 40 years of the 
                Program have been effectively disseminated to Federal, 
                State, local, and private sector stakeholders.
