                    Program, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the ``National Earthquake Hazards 
Reduction Program Reauthorization Act of 2018''.
SEC. 2. MODIFICATION OF FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
    (a) Findings.--Section 2 of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 
1977 (42 U.S.C. 7701) is amended--
        (1) in paragraph (1)--
            (A) by inserting ``, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,'' 
        after ``States'';
            (B) by inserting ``Oregon,'' after ``New York,''; and

        (2) in paragraph (2), by striking ``prediction techniques 
    and'';
        (3) by striking paragraph (4) and inserting the following:
        ``(4) A well-funded seismological research program could 
    provide the scientific understanding needed to fully implement an 
    effective earthquake early warning system.'';
        (4) in paragraphs (6) and (7), by striking ``lifelines'' each 
    place it appears and inserting ``lifeline infrastructure''; and
        (5) by adding at the end the following:
        ``(12) The built environment has generally been constructed and 
    maintained to meet the needs of the users under normal conditions. 
    When earthquakes occur, the built environment is generally designed 
    to prevent severe injuries or loss of human life and is not 
    expected to remain operational or able to recover under any 
    specified schedule.
        ``(13) The National Research Council published a study on 
    reducing hazards and risks associated with earthquakes based on the 
    goals and objectives for achieving national earthquake resilience 
    described in the strategic plan entitled `Strategic Plan for the 
    National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program'. The study and an 
    accompanying report called for work in 18 tasks focused on 
    research, preparedness, and mitigation and annual funding of 
    approximately $300,000,000 per year for 20 years.''.
    (b) Purpose.--Section 3 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 7702) is amended--
        (1) in the matter preceding paragraph (1), in the first 
    sentence, by inserting ``and increase the resilience of 
    communities'' after ``future earthquakes'';
        (2) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``to individuals and the 
    communities'' after ``an earthquake'';
        (3) in paragraph (2), by striking ``in time of disaster'' and 
    inserting ``to facilitate community-wide post-earthquake recovery 
    and in times of disaster'';
        (4) in paragraph (3), by striking ``for predicting damaging 
    earthquakes and'';
        (5) in paragraph (4), by inserting ``and planning'' after 
    ``model building''; and
        (6) in paragraph (5), by striking ``reconstruction'' and 
    inserting ``re-occupancy, recovery, reconstruction,''.
    (c) Definitions.--
        (1) Lifeline infrastructure.--
            (A) In general.--Section 4(6) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
        7703(6)) is amended by striking ``lifelines'' and inserting 
        ``lifeline infrastructure''.
            (B) Conforming amendment.--Such Act (42 U.S.C. 7701 et 
        seq.) is amended by striking ``lifelines'' each place it 
        appears and inserting ``lifeline infrastructure''.
        (2) Community resilience.--Section 4 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 
    7703) is amended by adding at the end the following:
        ``(10) The term `community resilience' means the ability of a 
    community to prepare and plan for, absorb, recover from, and more 
    successfully adapt to adverse seismic events.''.

        resilience,'' after ``seismic risk''; and
            (B) by adding at the end the following:
                ``(iv) publishing a systematic set of maps of active 
            faults and folds, liquefaction susceptibility, 
            susceptibility for earthquake induced landslides, and other

        by earthquakes, including risks and hazards resulting from 
        tsunamis and landslides that are generated by earthquakes;
            (B) the efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
        and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to 
        improve the resilience of the United States to earthquakes and 
        to identify important gaps in the resilience of the United 
        States to earthquakes;
            (C) the progress made by the National Institute of 
        Standards and Technology and the Interagency Coordinating 
        Committee (as defined in section 4 the Earthquake Hazards 
        Reduction Act of 1977 of the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act 
        of 1977 (42 U.S.C. 7703)) to coordinate effectively the budget 
        and activities of the Program agencies (as defined in such 
        section 4) in advancing the plans and goals of the Program (as 
        defined in such section 4) and how coordination among the 
        Program agencies may be improved;
            (D) the extent to which the results of research in 
        earthquake risk and hazards reduction supported by the National 
        Science Foundation during the 40 years of the Program has been 
        effectively disseminated to Federal, State, local, and private 
        sector stakeholders; and
            (E) the extent to which the research done during the 40 
        years of the Program has been applied to both public and 
        private earthquake risk and hazards reduction.
        (2) Recommendations to improve the Program and the resiliency 
    of the United States to earthquake risks.
