Unlikely to pass

While it has bipartisan support, most bills introduced late in a session without major leadership backing fail to pass before the term ends.

This bill requires the Department of Defense to keep better records on how extreme weather and slow environmental changes affect military bases. It expands current tracking to include all types of natural disasters like floods, wildfires, and hurricanes.
The goal is to understand how much money the military is spending to fix damage from weather and how these events impact daily operations. By collecting this data, the military can better plan for future risks and protect its facilities.
Military leaders would use this information to make bases more resilient. This means they could build stronger buildings or change how they store equipment to prevent damage before a storm or disaster hits.
