Enhances tornado detection, forecasting, and warning systems, and supports community resilience in high-risk areas.

The Tornado Preparedness Act aims to bolster tornado detection, forecasting, and warning capabilities through advanced technologies and improved coordination. It mandates the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish a program for better detection and forecasting, including next-generation radar and satellite technologies. The Act also requires FEMA to create a grant program for state and local agencies to enhance tornado resilience, focusing on underserved and high-risk communities.
