FEMA Cybersecurity Improvement Act

HR 4579, the FEMA Cybersecurity Improvement Act, amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 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 these risks, as defined in another section of law, and mandates that FEMA, working with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), submit an annual report to Congress detailing progress on these efforts. This bill directly affects FEMA's internal operations and cybersecurity planning, with CISA providing consultation. It does not create new funding or alter FEMA's core mission but updates existing security protocols to explicitly include cybersecurity risk mitigation.
