What this bill does
S. 5035, the "National Coordination on Resilience for Security Act of 2026," would amend the National Security Act of 1947 to create a new federal structure for coordinating how the government prepares for natural hazards, such as sea level rise, drought, wildfire, and other environmental changes. It would require the President to designate a Chief Resilience Officer within the National Security Council, who would lead interagency working groups and a new advisory body called the Partners Council on Resilience. The Officer would be required to produce a National Resilience Strategy within two years, update it every three years, and include an implementation plan describing how federal agencies will carry it out. The bill also directs creation of a public clearinghouse for resilience-related data and technical assistance, and calls for periodic Government Accountability Office reviews of progress. The provisions would sunset after 10 years or after a third GAO assessment, whichever comes first.
The bill primarily affects federal agencies involved in national security, infrastructure, and disaster planning, as well as "non-Federal partners"—state, local, territorial, and tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses—who could receive federal support, technical assistance, and streamlined access to resilience-related funding and information.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on July 20, 2026, by Sen. Christopher Coons with co-sponsors Sen. Murkowski and Sen. Bennet, and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. It would need committee consideration, passage by the Senate and House, and the President's signature to become law.
