The Earthquake Resilience Act would require a national risk assessment of earthquake resilience and support the development of standards and guidelines to more quickly restore access to critical lifeline infrastructure following a disaster.
Kevin Mullin will support a national earthquake resilience risk assessment and federal standards for restoring critical infrastructure after earthquakes.
Occurrences
Evidence
Mullin and Rep. Vince Fong announced the Earthquake Resilience Act, saying it would direct federal agencies to conduct a national earthquake resilience risk assessment and require NEHRP to develop standards and guidelines for restoring lifeline infrastructure after earthquakes.
Congress.gov shows H.R. 2568 was introduced on April 1, 2025, referred to three House committees, and still has the status Introduced.
Assessments
The promise was framed as support for a national earthquake resilience risk assessment and federal standards for restoring critical infrastructure after earthquakes, not as a promise to enact them into law. In the 119th Congress, Mullin materially delivered that support by introducing H.R. 2568, the Earthquake Resilience Act, which directly called for the national risk assessment and restoration standards described in the promise. Congress.gov still showed the bill at introduced status, so the policy itself was not enacted, but for a support-based promise Mullin's sponsorship is sufficient to count as fulfillment within the same term.
