FEMA Cybersecurity Improvement Act

HR 5201, the FEMA Cybersecurity Improvement Act, amends the Homeland Security Act to require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to specifically address cybersecurity risks that could disrupt its operations. The bill adds a new requirement for FEMA to mitigate such risks (defined in section 2200 of the law) and mandates that FEMA's Administrator submit a progress report to specific congressional committees within one year of the law's enactment. This report must detail FEMA's efforts to reduce cybersecurity threats impacting its work. The bill directly affects FEMA's internal operations and oversight by Congress, focusing on concrete cybersecurity risk management rather than broader policy changes.
