Bill overview
This bill aims to help long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities, better prepare for power outages, particularly during and after natural disasters. It does this by allowing the Department of Health and Human Services to provide grants for things like purchasing backup generators and creating local resource directories. The bill prioritizes facilities in areas with a high concentration of elderly residents or those reliant on Medicaid and are at risk of disasters. Funding is authorized to support these preparedness efforts.
