Occurrences

announced the inclusion of $34.85 million in appropriations for the continued development and expansion of the ShakeAlert West Coast earthquake early warning system, with language specifically directing the United States Geological Survey to initiate the expansion of the program into Nevada.

The press release says Amodei secured appropriations directing USGS to expand ShakeAlert into Nevada.

Evidence

Current ShakeAlert program materials describe service for California, Oregon, and Washington; Nevada is not listed as a public-service state.

The latest lookback check found no official sign that Nevada public rollout is complete. This supports a partial status: federal support has advanced, but full Nevada service still appears pending.

The FY2026 agreement provides $34.85 million for ShakeAlert EEW, including a Technical Implementation Plan for buildout in additional western states, including Nevada.

Official appropriations language funded continued ShakeAlert development and planning for Nevada capability, but the text describes planning/buildout rather than completed public rollout.

Because H.R. 6938 carried the ShakeAlert funding/direction shown in the official explanatory statement, enactment is concrete delivery of federal support for the Nevada expansion effort.

The House report recommended $32.6 million for ShakeAlert development and expansion, including a Technical Implementation Plan for key western states including Nevada.

This earlier official House appropriations record shows a concrete legislative path toward Nevada expansion before the final enacted FY2026 funding level increased to $34.85 million.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Amodei took federal legislative action in the same congressional term to support ShakeAlert development and Nevada expansion: H.R. 6938 was enacted as Public Law 119-74 with $34.85 million for continued ShakeAlert work and direction for a technical implementation plan covering Nevada. His office claimed he helped secure the funding, and House records show he voted for final passage. Although Nevada public service rollout appears not yet complete, the promise was framed as supporting development and expansion, not guaranteeing completed statewide deployment.
