AVERT Crises Act of 2024
The AVERT Crises Act of 2024 requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to implement a high-frequency emergency communications system across all VA medical facilities within two years. This system must maintain communications during disasters without relying on external infrastructure, enable coordination with agencies like FEMA, and support healthcare continuity for veterans. The bill mandates detailed implementation steps - including staff training, annual emergency exercises, phased rollout starting with three Veterans Integrated Service Networks, and regular congressional reporting on progress. It also includes additional provisions to improve emergency cache management and VA-FEMA resource coordination, focusing on concrete operational upgrades for VA facilities.
