emergency personnel and members of the community. Your Committees
recognize that several municipalities in the United States and

informed population that is better equipped to respond effectively
when natural disasters occur.

Committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs and Public
Safety and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your
