Bill overview
The Building and Upgrading Infrastructure for the Long Term Act (BUILT Act) aims to improve the resilience of our infrastructure against extreme weather events. It directs the Department of Energy to invest in research focused on understanding the effects of climate change on underground structures like soil, rock, and groundwater, as well as on developing engineering standards and building codes for resilient designs. The bill also calls for a workshop to establish a framework for multihazard resilient design, considering factors like cascading hazards and financial tools for decision-making.
