This bill ensures that the National Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring System receives funding for the next four years, helping to monitor and warn about volcanic activity. This is important for public safety in areas near volcanoes.
This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 the National Volcano Early Warning and Monitoring System of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The system, implemented by the USGS in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, includes a monitoring network, volcano observatories, a national data center, and external research grants.
