The purpose of this legislation, known as the "Measuring the Cost of Disasters Act of 2025," is to create a publicly accessible database and webpage that provides detailed information about billion-dollar disasters in the United States. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness and understanding of the financial impact of significant disasters, which can help in planning and response efforts. Key provisions of the legislation require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to establish and maintain this database and webpage.
