EMAP Act

Early Migration Alert Program Act or the EMAP Act

This bill establishes within the Department of Homeland Security a program to (1) lead the dissemination of information pertaining to the release of non-U.S. nationals (alien under federal law) from custody, and (2) formalize partnerships with regional stakeholders relating to such information.

The bill also requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to provide certain information to the relevant state and local governments at least 24 hours before releasing a non-U.S. national from custody.

The Emergency Management Assistance Program (EMAP) Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 7462, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to enhance the effectiveness of emergency management assistance programs at the federal, state, and local levels.

The EMAP Act aims to improve coordination and communication between different levels of government during emergency situations. It seeks to streamline the process of requesting and receiving assistance during disasters, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or public health emergencies.

One key aspect of the EMAP Act is the establishment of a national database of emergency management resources. This database would help ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and effectively during emergencies. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for training and certification programs for emergency management personnel, as well as grants to support state and local emergency management efforts. Overall, the EMAP Act is designed to strengthen the nation's ability to respond to and recover from emergencies. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and coordination between different levels of government, as well as the need for adequate training and resources for emergency management personnel. If passed, this bill has the potential to improve the nation's overall emergency preparedness and response capabilities.
