Disaster Ready Infrastructure Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill requires state and local groups that plan transportation to look closely at their roads and bridges. They must figure out which ones are most likely to be damaged by natural disasters like floods, wildfires, or hurricanes that happen often in their area.
• Planners would have to pick out the most important routes that need to stay open during an emergency. This helps make sure people can evacuate safely and emergency workers can get where they need to go.
• Once the weak spots are found, the bill requires planners to list the specific construction projects needed to fix them. This ensures that future tax dollars are spent on making the most important roads stronger before a disaster hits.
