Natural Hazard Resilience for Airports Act of 2023
This bill modifies the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program to allow funding for airport projects that boost resilience against natural disasters. It makes eligible for funding specific upgrades to runways, taxiways, and aprons designed to maintain operations during events like hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, or wildfires. Airports seeking this funding must have an emergency management plan and maintain facilities suitable for disaster response, including acquiring emergency communication equipment and infrastructure. The bill also adds new criteria for planning related to disaster preparedness, such as building infrastructure to support emergency operations. These changes aim to help airports recover faster after natural disasters by prioritizing resilience in infrastructure investments.
