The National Landslide Preparedness Act Reauthorization Act of 2025 extends and expands federal programs for landslide preparedness and water monitoring through 2030-2034, with increased funding from $25 million to $35 million annually for landslide programs and from $10 million to $30 million annually for water data collection. The bill requires at least $10 million per year to be dedicated specifically to landslide early warning systems in high-risk areas and expands eligibility for partnerships and grants to include Native Hawaiian organizations and tribal groups alongside state and local governments. It also broadens flood forecasting requirements to include extreme weather events like atmospheric rivers and hurricane-related precipitation that can trigger both flooding and landslides. The legislation establishes new regional partnerships between the U.S. Geological Survey and expert organizations to coordinate landslide research and monitoring, while prioritizing water monitoring efforts in drought-prone and flood-prone regions that rely heavily on water storage systems.
