This executive order enhances national security by shifting preparedness responsibilities toward state and local governments while ensuring federal support remains efficient and accessible. It mandates the development of a National Resilience Strategy to guide infrastructure investments and risk-informed decision-making. Policies related to critical infrastructure, emergency response, and national continuity will be revised to eliminate inefficiencies. Additionally, a National Risk Register will quantify threats to help inform government and private sector responses. This approach aims to reduce taxpayer burdens while strengthening state and local disaster preparedness for modern threats.
