Key Points

Congress is moving to extend a program that provides detailed maps and data for America's coastlines through the year 2030. This ensures that local governments and businesses have the information they need to manage land and water near the ocean.
The bill requires that all the data collected be completely free and easy for the public to access. This helps everyone from city planners to small business owners use high-quality information without having to pay expensive fees.
For the first time, the program will specifically include information about underground pipes, power lines, and other buried utilities. Having this data in one place helps prevent accidents during construction and helps towns plan better for repairs.
This effort is designed to help coastal areas prepare for storms, flooding, and changes in the environment. By providing clear maps of what is on the surface and what is underground, the program helps keep these communities safer and more organized.
