I think this bill is good because it helps make sure we have enough stuff in case of emergencies. It says we need to have plans in place to make sure we can get things we need even if something bad happens. This is important because we don't want to run out of things like food or medicine if something goes wrong. I think this bill will help keep us safe and prepared for anything that might happen. I'm glad they are thinking ahead and making sure we are ready for whatever comes our way. The short term affects of this bill may help me feel more secure knowing that there are plans in place to make sure we have what we need in case of an emergency.
