National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill renews funding through 2030 for the U.S. Geological Survey's work under the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, which is a program run by four federal agencies to reduce the dangers of earthquakes. It requires the USGS to work with the Federal Communications Commission to send earthquake warnings out as fast as possible, expand early warning systems to more high-risk areas, issue forecasts for aftershocks after big earthquakes, and include tsunamis and related hazards in earthquake hazard maps. The bill also says that efforts to develop building codes under the program must address how quickly buildings and infrastructure can be used again after an earthquake.
