National Coordination on Resilience for Security Act of 2026

The National Coordination on Resilience for Security Act of 2026 creates a new Chief Resilience Officer within the National Security Council to lead federal efforts in preparing for natural hazards and enhancing national security. This official will establish interagency working groups and a Partners Council on Resilience that includes representatives from state, local, tribal, and private sector entities to coordinate strategies and identify funding gaps. The bill requires the development of a National Resilience Strategy that outlines how federal agencies will collaborate with non-federal partners to improve infrastructure, reduce waste, and support vulnerable communities. Additionally, the act mandates the creation of a public clearinghouse to share resilience data and technical assistance, with all provisions set to expire after ten years or following a third independent assessment.
