PREPARE Act of 2023

The PREPARE Act of 2023 establishes an Interagency Council composed of senior officials from 25 federal agencies to coordinate extreme weather resilience efforts across the government. The law requires each federal agency to develop and update comprehensive extreme weather plans that integrate climate considerations into agency operations, with plans submitted annually to the Office of Management and Budget. The Council will create a public website to share resources, best practices, and progress updates, and will issue annual reports to Congress detailing implementation and effectiveness. This legislation directly affects all federal agencies by mandating they incorporate extreme weather planning into their operations and budgeting processes. The Act aims to improve government coordination on climate resilience without creating new regulatory requirements or duplicating existing federal programs.
